Kepler's law.
Portrait of Johannes Kepler.

The Austrian astronomer Johannes Kepler was deeply convinced that the revolution of the planets around the Sun is subject to certain and precise laws. He dreamed of revealing these laws and expounding them in a large astronomical work conceived by him under the title “Harmony of the World”. Kepler persistently searched for this harmony in the planetary system. He gave several years
calculations, wishing to reveal the relationship between the times of revolution of the planets around the Sun and their average distances from the Sun?

Kepler multiplied these quantities, raised them to a power, extracted square and cube roots... He worked tirelessly. Every single calculation

Perseverance won. In 1618 Kepler succeeded in finding the harmony he suspected in the motion of the planets.
He multiplied by himself the time of Mars, that is, in other words, squared it, then cubed the average distance of Mars from the Sun-
and got the same numbers in both cases.

Therefore, the name “solar system” was strengthened behind the solar family of planets, and among scientists there was a firm belief that the Earth and all other planets are the daughters of the Sun, and the moons are, as it were, grandchildren, and that the birth of the planet and the moons is due to the action of some unknown science. natural law
