Test 14 Module 1 Attempt Review

The document presents a student's notes on Kepler's first law of planetary motion, which states that planets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths with the Sun at one focus. It includes specific information about Umbriel, a moon of Uranus, which also follows an elliptical orbit. The student is tasked with selecting the best explanation and example of this law from given options.

A. Umbriel's orbit of Uranus is elliptical, demonstrating Kepler's first law of


planetary motion, which describes the elliptical orbits of planets but applies to Show one page at a time
moons as well.
Finish review
B. Kepler's first law of planetary motion states that the orbit of a planet around the
Sun is an ellipse; for example, planetary satellites orbit their planets in an
elliptical fashion.

C. Kepler's first law of planetary motion, which describes the orbits of Uranus 
and other planets in the solar system, states that the object being orbited is
one of the ellipse's foci.

D. Uranus's moon Umbriel completes an orbit in 4.14 Earth days on average, a


clear example of Kepler's first law of planetary motion, which describes the
elliptical orbit of planets.
