Planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptical path with the Sun at one focus. 2. The imaginary segment connecting the planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time. 3. The square of the period of revolution is directly proportional to the cube of the length of the semimajor axis of revolution: T 2 is constant. a3 SPARKCHARTS™ Physics Formulas page 2 of 2
