How would a circular orbit affect Keplar's second and third laws?
And how can the law be restated using the radius of a circle?
Keplar's second law states that an imaginary line between the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal amounts of area in equal amounts of time.
Keplar's third law states that the square of the orbital period equals the cube of the semimajor axis of the orbital ellipse.
Yeah, it is under the assumption of orbits being elliptical, but please. How would a circular orbit change the law?
