Kepler’s Model of Planetary Spacing
• Each planet moves in a shell separated from next by regular polyhedron
• Six planets separated by five shells
• Thickness of shell is important
• Ordering of polyhedra is importantOrbits of Jupiter, Saturn and
Mars

Kepler’s First Law
The planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus
![Page 12: ASTM001/MTH724U SOLAR SYSTEM Carl Murray / Nick Cooper Lecture 2: Structure of the Solar System](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae8a85503466b6a8b5f80/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Kepler’s Second Law
A line drawn from the Sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times
![Page 13: ASTM001/MTH724U SOLAR SYSTEM Carl Murray / Nick Cooper Lecture 2: Structure of the Solar System](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae8a85503466b6a8b5f80/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Kepler’s Third Law
It is most certain and most exact that the proportion between the periods of any two planets is precisely three halves the proportion of the mean distance
J. Kepler, 15 May 1618
The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis

Newton’s Universal of Gravitation
Any two bodies attract each other with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
![Page 16: ASTM001/MTH724U SOLAR SYSTEM Carl Murray / Nick Cooper Lecture 2: Structure of the Solar System](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae8a85503466b6a8b5f80/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Newton’s Laws of Motion
• Bodies remain in a state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by a force
• The force experienced by a body is equal to the rate of change of momentum
• To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
![Page 17: ASTM001/MTH724U SOLAR SYSTEM Carl Murray / Nick Cooper Lecture 2: Structure of the Solar System](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551ae8a85503466b6a8b5f80/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Choose an appropriate mathematical model for the orbit.
The model is defined by a set of parameters.
The numerical values of the model parameters are initially unkown.
Use the model to estimate the observed quantities.
Iteratively solve for the set of parameter values which generates a satisfactory match between the estimated and actual observations.

The Titius-Bode ‘Law’ of Planetary Distance
The distance of a planet from the Sun obeys a geometric progression.
