...discovered his third fundamental law; namely, III. The squares of the times of the revolutions of the planets are to each other as the cubes of their mean distances. The ellipses, which the planets describe, however, are not unalterable. Their major axes appear to... | |

...of the periodic times, in which the planets perform their annual revolutions, are in proportion to each other as the cubes of their mean distances from the sun; so that the distance of any one of them being known, the distance of any other may be easily determined.... | |

...other body in the whole compass of space. This law, viz. that the squares of the periodic times of the planets are to each other as the cubes of their mean distances from the central body, was first discovered by Kepler, and afterwards demonstrated by Sir Isaac Newton. Thus,... | |

...describes an ellipse, having the sun in one of its foci.* 3. That the squares of the periodic times of the planets are to each other as the cubes of their mean distances from the sun. These three laws are the basis of all physical astronomy. But in a popular work like the present, it... | |
