Solution

Johannes Kepler was the scientist who gave the law of planetary motion.

The three laws of planetary motion proposed by Kepler are as follows:-
1. The Elliptic Law-The planet's orbits around the sun are elliptical in shape, with the sun's center located at one focus.
2. The Equal Areas Law - An imaginary line formed from the sun's center to the planet's center will sweep out equal portions at equal time intervals.
3. The Harmonies Law- The cube of the semi-major axis of the planet's orbit is directly proportional to the square of their orbital period.
