Kepler’s first law states that the orbits of the planets are oval in shape or
A
ellipses
B
perfect circles
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Kepler’s First Law: each planet’s orbit about the Sun is an ellipse. The Sun’s center is always located at one focus of the orbital ellipse. The Sun is at one focus. The planet follows the ellipse in its orbit, meaning that the planet to Sun distance is constantly changing as the planet goes around its orbit.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kepler’s three laws of planetary motion can be stated as follows: (1) All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, having the Sun as one of the foci. (2) A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time.

Detailed explanation-3: -These laws are known as Kepler’s Laws of planetary motion. Kepler’s first law states that path of the planets about the sun is elliptical in shape. The center of this ellipse is the sun being located at one focus. This law is also known as the Law of Ellipses.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kepler’s First Law: All the planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits with the sun at the focus. Kepler’s Second Law: The line joining the planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in an equal interval of time.

Detailed explanation-5: -Kepler’s First Law – The Law of Orbits According to Kepler’s first law, “All the planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits having the sun at one of the foci”.
