- Newton's law of gravity states that the force between two objects depends on the objects' distance of separation and this
- this would be the same for two planets if their average distance from the Sun is the same
- according to the universal law of gravitation, this would happen to the force of gravity if the mass of one of the two objects would double
- this astronomer found that the force of attraction between any two objects decreases with the square of the distance between their centers
- this astronomer discovered that the orbits of planets are ellipses
- "equal areas in equal times" describes which one of Kepler's Laws?
