Question

What role does the Sun play in planetary motion according to Kepler’s laws?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

The Sun is at one focus of the elliptical orbits (first law) and provides the central gravitational force driving the equal-area sweep (second law) and period-distance relation (third law). As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to It provides the central force. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
