  1. Who enunciated the laws of planetary motion?
    1. Nicolaus Copernicus
    2. Johannes Kepler
    3. Isaac Newton
    4. Galileo
Correct Option: B

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing orbital motion, each giving a description of the motion of planets around the Sun.
The laws are: the orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci; a line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time; and the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
