Which of these theories of elliptical orbits did Johannes Kepler establish?

• There is an exact relationship between a planet’s distance from the sun and the amount of time it takes to revolve around the sun. (year)

• Planets farther from the sun have a more pronounced elliptical orbit than planets that are closer to the sun.

• Planets closer to the sun move faster around the sun than planets far away from the sun. (Speed)

• As planets get closer to the sun, the speed at which they travel increases.
