The focal point and the loci is always taken as the sun. The satellites and the spacecrafts designed by the engineers all need to make use of this law for higher accuracy. The second law talks more about the areas covered by the planets while moving around the sun. This is also commonly known as the law of the equal areas because it says

of the most controversial mysteries known to mankind. From ancient to present times‚ unidentified objects have been seen in the sky by millions of people. The question is‚ of course‚ what is it that we are seeing in our skies? Are they foreign spacecrafts from distant planets‚ merely Air Force experiments‚ or only our imagination? Many people believe that extraterrestrial life is existent and far more advanced then us. Conversely‚ many believe that aliens are just figments of our optimistic imaginations

We’ve discovered that today’s Martian wasteland hints at a formerly volatile world where volcanoes once raged‚ meteors plowed deep craters‚ and flash floods rushed over the land. Mars continues to throw out new enticements with each landing or orbital pass made by our new spacecraft. 4. What new technology do you think may be created to expand our
