Kepler's Laws All Three

This was an extra credit project for my Exploration of Space course Spring 2009. One of my more creative endeavors:-D

Keplers Laws All Three

A natral orbits controlled by gravity
Celestial Bodies all follow, follow one.
Spaceships with their engines off, orbit in one too
Keplers Laws explain them and theres only 3 to know
Orbits arent circles
The planets move in ellipses you see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Pariapsis is close to gravity
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Apopapsis is farthest from gravity

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
For earth close is perigee
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
The farthest from the Earth is apogee


The first law talks about the orbits shape
If its bound its elliptical, elliptical.
Theres 2 foci with the occupied
The major axis is the largest diameter of it
Unbound orbits
Are called hyperbolic in shape

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Round means low eccentricity
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Our planets make orbits like these

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Stretched is high eccentricity
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Astroids and comets are like these
[

And the second law is
At the pariapsis and slowest at apoapsis
The third law talks about the period
The time to make an orbit
The bigger the major axis the longer the period

The bigger the major axis the greater total energy
Periapsis has the greatest energy of motion

Apoapsis has the greatest energy of position

Total Energys the same at any point in orbit


Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Total Energys the sum
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Of energy of motion and position

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
The sum is constant
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Because of conservation of energy


Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Bound orbits have negative total energy
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Unbound have positive total energy


Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
These are Keplers Laws all three
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
They explain the solar system cant you see.

Thanks everyone for all the comments, as you can see I don't get on much! But I'm glad I could help some of you out and hopefully amused you as well in the process! :D But if you didn't like it I'm really not that choked up about it. . . but by all means leave a comment if it'll make you feel better.

[singsingsing186]

heheh thanks! Glad I could help:-)

I like astronomy, in fact I studied it, but this is so LAME. If you are trying to attract someones attention to astronomy please stop. You are doing the opposite This is terrible.

Seriously? Calm down- did you read the info tab? This was an extra credit project- and I got 40 points- my professor wanted me to put it on youtube so other students could see an example, and hey sometimes things are easier to understand in song. It was not meant to rock anyone's world- nor was intended to be a great tribute to my intellectual and vocal abilities- trust me its not. So just chill!

@singsingsing186 No one on youtube reads the info tab.... it's a shame knowing how many dumb comments could be avoided like that -_-'

super useful.. :D

[TheChimychanga123]

im borow this

[dhungu2000]

very good

[DemajorUtd]

Well done :)

[skatty14]

Well done! :)

[dpunisha4u]

look at all those strange planets in 1:39, wow!...and i got a lot of information when i decided to consider each of your lines independent from the others, great work.

This was excellent. Never pay heed to the ones who would slam you. It's ironic in how much anyone with talent, as you obviously have, are given grief by those without any. Look at Kepler's travails.

[rijkent55]

Excellent ! Well done; informational and "catchy" !

[DavisThegreatest]

amazing! exam tomorrow lol
