Still, teachers need a wider knowledge, allowing them to pick and choose material according to circumstances, and to mention odd tidbits without detailed discussion, just to create interest.<br><br> And some very lucky teachers may sometimes find in class a kid or two who really want to find out more. Such students can be directed here to satisfy their interest.<br><br> This overview focuses on three items:<br>---what are Kepler's laws, what do they mean, and why are they important.<br><br>The laws were formulated between 1609 to 16l9, and are (as usually stated):<br><br><br><br>Planets move around the Sun in ellipses, with the Sun at one focus<br>The line connecting the Sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times.<br>The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube (3rd power) of the mean distance from the Sun<br> (also stated as-- ...of the "semi-major axis" of the orbital ellipse, half the sum of smallest and greatest distances from the Sun)
