Science Putanaydana Flashcards
He made accurate
measurements and observations of the
position of stars, sun, moon, and the
planets even before the invention of
telescope.
Tycho Brahe
What accurate measurement and observation did Tycho Brahe make?
position of stars, sun, moon, and the
planets even before the invention of
telescope.
His innovations and extensive
collection of data in observational
astronomy was obtained by his student
Johannes Kepler when he died.
Tycho Brahe
Who obtained Tycho Brahe’s innovations and an extensive collection of data in observational astronomy?
Johannes Kepler
What was Tycho Brahe’s innovations and extensive collection of data about?
Observational Astronomy
is a division of astronomy that is concerned with recording data about the observable universe, in contrast with theoretical astronomy, which is mainly concerned with calculating the measurable implications of physical models.
Observational Astronomy
He found that
the orbits of the planets followed three
laws.
Johannes Kepler
What did Johannes Kepler use to find that the orbits of the planets followed three laws?
The data gathered by Tycho Brahe.
He believed in a model that the
sun orbiting the Earth but the
other planets orbiting the sun,
Tycho Brahe
He eventually used the data
gathered by Brahe to prove
heliocentrism and to calculate the
orbital laws.
Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kepler used the data gathered by Brahe to prove what?
heliocentrism and to calculate the
orbital laws.
He also observed that the orbits of the planets are ellipses with the sun at one focus
thus formulating his first law of planetary motion, the Law Of Ellipses.
Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kepler also observed that the orbits of the planets are ________________
ellipses with the sun at one focus
The first law of planetary motion?
The Law Of Ellipses.
Who forumulated the Law Of Ellipses.
Johannes Kepler
States that each planet’s orbit around the Sun is an ellipse
The Law Of Ellipses.
also noticed an
an imaginary line is drawn from a
planet to the sun swept out
equal area of space in equal
time, regardless of the position
of the planet from its orbit.
Johannes Kepler
He
explained that the planet
moves faster when it is near
the sun and slower when it is
far from the sun.
Johannes Kepler
Johannes Kepler explained that planets near the sun ________ and planets further from it ___________, this
observation led him to
formulate his second law of
planetary motion which he
called____________________
moves faster, moves slower, Law Of Equal Areas.
2nd law of planetary motion by Johannes Kepler
Law Of Equal Areas.
In his third law
the ______________, ________________
showed that there is a
_____________________
relationship between a
planet’s distance from
the sun and the
amount of time it
takes to revolve
around the sun.
law of periods, Johannes Kepler, precise mathematical
Three Laws of planetary motion in order:
1) Laws of ellipses
2) Law of equal areas
3) Law of periods
Three Laws of planetary motion explain em in brief summary.
1) Laws of ellipses
- All planets revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit, with the sun being a focal point.
2) Law of equal areas
- Closer the planet is to the sun, the faster a planet moves and the further away the slower + Planets moves in equal areas and equal intervals of time.
3) Law of periods
- Explains how long a planet finishes a single revolution and that the further a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes for it to finish a revolution.
Long ago these served as a guide for the people’s lives because they thought
them as gods and the stars were used in navigation.
