Because Kepler recognized that the distance to the __ _________, he proposed his first law.
A). A Sun, stays constant
B). moon, varies
C). Sun, varies
D). moon, stays constant
C). Sun, varies
The correct answer is C). Sun, varies.
Explanation:
Kepler recognized that the distance between a planet and the Sun varies, which led him to propose his first law.
To figure out the answer to this question, we need to understand what Kepler's first law states. Kepler's first law, also known as the law of orbits, states that the planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths, with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse.
Now, to determine which one of the options correctly completes the sentence, we need to identify which celestial body's distance Kepler recognized in relation to his first law.
In this case, the answer is C) Sun, varies. Kepler recognized that the distance between a planet and the Sun varies as the planet moves along its elliptical orbit.
