Length of Earth's Orbit around the Sun is 299 million km wide

In this video, I use Kepler's third law to calculate the length of Earth's elliptical orbit to be around 299,000,000 km wide and takes about 365.25 days to complete

Kepler's Third Law: Square of Planet's Orbital Period is Proportional to the Cube of its Major Axis

In this video, I derive Kepler's 3rd Law of planetary motion and obtain a formula for a planet's period of orbit around the Sun in terms of the length of its major

Kepler's Second Law: A Planet's Orbit Sweeps out Equal Areas in Equal Times

In this video, I derive Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion and show that the line joining the Sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times. In other words,

Kepler's First Law: Planets Revolve around the Sun in an Ellipse

In this video, I derive Kepler's 1st law of planetary motion entirely from Newton's second law of motion and Newton's law of universal gravitation, while making

Maxwell is in my eyes a contender for GOAT in Mathematics.

Yesterday, poking around, I asked myself how you could generalize the ellipse for more than two focal points, and I found out that a Scottish boy had asked himself
