What is Kepler's first law of planetary motion?

• The planets revolve around the sun in circular orbits.

• The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of its average distance from the sun.

• The line connecting the sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

• All planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one of the foci.

• The line connecting the sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

• The planets revolve around the sun in circular orbits.

• The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of its average distance from the sun.

• All planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one of the foci.
