Kepler's 1st law states that the orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus. Which of the following statements describe a characteristic of the solar system that is explained by Kepler's first law?

Inner planets orbit the Sun at higher speed than outer planets.
All the planets orbit the Sun in nearly the same plane.
The Sun is located slightly off-center from the middle of each planet's orbit.
Earth is slightly closer to the Sun on one side of its orbit than on the other side.
Pluto moves faster when it is closer to the Sun than when it is farther from the Sun.
Venus orbits the Sun faster than Earth orbits the Sun.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • The Sun is located slightly off-center from the middle of each planet's orbit.
  • Earth is slightly closer to the Sun on one side of its orbit than on the other side.

Explanation:

  • The kepler's first concept states that the none of the planets have a perfectly circular orbit,  
  • This states that the means that all planets are closer to the Sun on one side of their orbit rather than on their other side.  
  • The Sun's is in an eccentric position and also arises due to it is found at the focus of each ans every planet's elliptical orbit, rather than at the central part of the ellipse and this expresses its eccentricity that is form 0 to 1.

The answer is A- Venus has phases.

The Copernicus's heliocentric (Sun-centered) theory stated that the Sun is at rest near the center of the Universe, and that the Earth, spinning on its axis once daily, revolves annually around the Sun. He proved this theory by discovering that Venus went through phases just like the moon by recording his observations through the telescope.He also disproved the theory that the sun and other planets revolve around the earth through his recorded observations seen via the telescope.
