8. In both Hipparchian and Ptolemaic systems‚ the planets are assumed to move in a small circle called an epicycle‚ which in turn moves along a larger circle called a deferent. Both circles rotate clockwise and are roughly parallel to the plane of the Sun’s orbit (ecliptic). Despite the fact that the system is considered geocentric‚ the planets’ motion was not centered on the Earth but on what is called the eccentric. The orbits of planets in this system are epitrochoids. The epicycle rotated and

Johannes Kepler‚ who was born December 27‚ 1571 and died on November 15‚ 1630. He created the three major laws of planetary motion. These three laws are called the Law of Ellipses‚ the Law of Equal Areas‚ and the Law of Harmonies. Kepler’s first law is called the Law of Ellispes or the Law of Orbits. This law states that planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus. Think of the elliptical shape as a part of a cone. This is the shape of the orbit that becomes an inverse square force
