Understanding Kepler's 3 Laws and Orbits

[@haloshadowsnipe3014]

Studying for a physics test I have tomorrow, thanks for explaining this better than my professor did in half the time.

[@danielmuzza5125]

Agreed

[@haloshadowsnipe3014]

​@@danielmuzza5125 I passed that test 5 years ago btw... Good luck! P.S: I work full time as a software engineer now at AMD.

Watched this to better understand Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion. I was happy to see that I generally understood them without the visuals (yay!), but the visual and explanations made it all the more clear (especially the math calculations.) Thanks for a great video!

[@PaulBlxck]

You , Sir , are awesome !!

[@Disney0702]

WOW! For something that I found difficult to understand this video has made everything simple. Thanks =D

[@trevoreisenbacher8302]

Thanks man, the class I'm in wouldn't shut up so we have to take notes on these laws at home.

[@LawnGnomePower]

Thanks for this video, we are learning about this in Astronomy;my teacher didn't articulate this very well.

[@rhutchison11]

Wow great job! this video helped me SOOOOOOO much in writing my paper on Kepler's three laws! Very clear and understandable! Thank you really appreciate it

[@VideoLex]

Very clear, partly because the explanation does not skip any steps of reasoning. That is particularly helpful when it comes to the explanation of Kepler's third law. Excellent!

[@envy8573]

Due to unfortunate 3 fractures in my leg I'm not being abe to go to school and our teacher was teaching kepler's laws..I had the notes but didn't quite understand them and coudln't ask my teacher as i couldn't go to school..This video is excellent! Thank You! Liked👍

[@morzee94]

Like most people in the comments I'm also studying for a test I have tomorrow, though for me it's an aerospace engineering test rather than a physics one. This video explained the three laws really well, my professor tends to jump into the maths before making sure we have a good grasps of the basics of what's going on!

[@lerch25]

very well done explaining, but I did keep getting distracted by the hilarious subscript.:))

[@anthonyrodriguez8984]

OMG, this was an absolute LIFE SAVER. thank you for your help with the second law. that one literally kept me up at night.

[@duiattorneyphoenix]

Great explanation. Thanks for sharing your vid.

[@augustinelynettqoro2383]

Thank you for the clarity. I have a discussion on Kepler's laws and I find it a lot more understandable with the illustrations. thanks for the help again.

[@TimothyMoananu]

Absolutely amazing for the sake of simplicity itself. Thank you so much for the video. This really helped my understanding of Keplers Law and the good thing is, you just summarize a 1 hour confusing lecture to a 12 minute of clear and understandable video. Thank you once again sir.

[@Frances3654]

I should have watched this before class, would have saved me a lot of frustration...thanks!!

[@296638560303]

very well explained...i could'nt understand while i was reading from my text book...but now after watching this video i totaly understand...thank u soo much.

[@ryanh6879]

this video was really helpful because it described everything really well and you can understand everything. compared to other videos the are to complicated

[@halima4621]

I understood the first two but the third was kind of confusing. Thanks for the informative video. It's appreciated!

[@peugeotmns]

Absolutely brilliant. This video is worth more than a thousand words.

[@podiumgirl]

You explained this very well. I watched a few others and just didn't get that third one, but you make it so clear. Thanks so much.

[@spicts1671]

Thanks for explaining way way better than my teacher did.

[@weezybaby864]

Fantastic explanation. Studying up for a final, and this made it crystal clear. Really appreciate the work you put in.

[@sahbaomair4994]

The best explanation so far ! Thanks

[@deathofhackers]

1:09 we are looking at an ellipse, most likely Baymax lol!

[@carotyongy1627]

exactly what I thought!!

[@you2200]

hahahaha

[@graysonwaugh5615]

Thx for making this, it was very helpful. (especially the 3rd law)

[@srinivask8241]

the best explanation ever!! Better than my teacher!!

[@rachelnoellex3]

This is seriously an amazing video and held me understand Kepler's Laws so much better. Thank you so so so much! :)

[@jeffciaccio2463]

very professional. what software did you use to create this?

[@tbpom1003]

he stated it in the video. Listen carefully

[@naomicraig8725]

Thank you so much for making this video. I learned more in twelve minutes that I have through hours and hours of textbook reading. Bless you! :)

[@emebetatlabachewzewdie9451]

I really love your explanation of keplers 1st and 2nd law but the 3rd one was confusing

[@yartsagunbu9337]

A wonderfully clear and concise explanation. Thank you so much. I am awed by patterns and fractals and stuff like that, so the beauty of the equal areas created by the variable orbit speed has me really humming.

[@chriswoolard7962]

You made the 3rd law seem mathematically simple. Thank you sir.

[@serenefeng5919]

Thank you so much for this awesome explanation!! It helped incredibly!!

[@earlskelton7373]

On the plus side, it is a very helpful video and I have recommended it to all my Astro students. Nice job! Earl

[@giacablayan3539]

thank you so much for the video. i read my book and watch several videos and yours is clear and concise.

[@sofiacarrillo5522]

Wow! Best video on youtube that explains these laws! You really helped me study for my physics test tomorrow!! Thanks! :)

[@CsrxRacer]

The way you explained the 3rd law is very helpful thank you

[@sagala40]

very good explanation!!! you made it simple to understand!!

[@ks1281]

Hi dcaulf, When discussing Kepler's 3rd law, I believe you have the orbital radii for the Earth and Jupiter in units of meters when it should be in kilometers. Although this doesn't change your answer because the units will cancel, but I figured I should let you know. Thanks for the video!

[@abdogrammar]

Very Simple and Simply Great video

[@sirlancelotii6719]

Thank you so much for this video! I have come to understand Kepler's three laws more thoroughly it.

[@rishabh2069]

I am studying for my final sem tomorrow...thanks for the video.

[@Spagno01]

Great video, I finally understood Kepler's laws after watching this video. Thx!

[@robertmoses02iscool]

beautiful explanation, hopefully professors are just as good at explaining this as you are.

[@nancygikandi7201]

wow thank you so much. ..I HAVE FULLY UNERSTOOD IT .That was really helpful

[@AlexzandrSpringvale]

Thanks for posting. You broke it down real simple.

[@earlskelton7373]

Please note that the values given in the video for the mean solar radii of both Earth and Jupiter are correct if the units are kilometers (km), NOT meters. Earth's mean orbital radius from the Sun is 1.5x10^11 m = 1.5x10^8 km. Because a ratio is being used in Kepler's 3rd Law, the effect of these two errors cancel each other out.

[@Yassi678]

GREAT JOB!! Very clear video! I really appreciate it!

[@tbpom1003]

great explanation! I read it on textbook, wasn't able to understand. But yours is super clear to understand👍

Thank you very much dcaulf.Your video expaination helped me alot to properly understand Kepler's 3 laws of Motion.i have one of my National Astronomy Olympiads coming and i needed to understand the topic serioulsy & if I would win I would get a trip to NASA for 10 days.if it would happen so I would credit you for helping me.Thanks again :D

[@john_wisdom]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video.. great info, nice explaination and pacing of the info. Thanks!

[@KostasGiotis]

A very fine video. Bravo!

[@rajibkudas123]

can you please explain how Kepler arrived at these conclusions....

[@anuvratverma1255]

He stole all astrological maps and calculations made by tycho Brahe and than he stated seeing relations in them which after 11 years of studying all the maps and calculations he concluded all of them in three simple laws..."the Kepler's laws"......he was a true genius mate...bcz of Kepler even gallilieo could have visualised space

[@EdwinTrejoET]

Brahe might have a genius but he was also batshit crazy.

[@kargan87]

Very good narration....

WOW! THANKS! I CAN PASS MY ASTROLOGY TEST TODAY NOW!

[@37rainman]

Thank u for your vids. One thing that i find slightly troubling is that kids are taught that th planets orbits are eliptical using exaggerations, so they never truly appreciate how incredibly circular they are. If one were to draw a perfect representation of earths path with a 200mm major axis, and on a transparancy draw a circle 200mm dia, one figure could not be distinguished from th other, even with a ruler.(earths major axis is 99.986% of its minor: so on our drawing, no point on th circle>>

[@falconsatl11]

is the semi major axis the same thing as orbital radius?

[@carsonpoe3669]

yes

[@johnny5430]

very good one for people who think slow... or English isn't their first language. thx :)

[@user-ds4yu1yi9e]

You've been an amazing help, thank you very much!

[@KrisVG1]

Hi! Thx for the video. I have a question about Kepler's first law: isn't it possible that the initial speed of the planets was to high (instead of to low like you illustrate) to make a perfect circle. In that case the orbit is also elliptical.

[@arthurlambert1208]

Very nice video! Thanks a lot, helped me finish my homework :P

[@juliebutler3252]

Is there a link to the website where you get the demonstrations? If so, will you please post it.
