...proportional to the times ; 3. that in the movements of different planets round the same central body the squares of the periodic times are proportional to the cubes of the mean distances. The Rhodolphirie tables of the planetary movements, in constructing which he assisted Tycho, were published... | |

The tliird law, that the squares of the periodic times are proportional to the cubes of the distances, is a property which belongs to the bodies describing elliptic orbits, according to the conditions... | |

The third, viz. that the squares of the periodic times are proportional to the cubes of the mean distances from the sun, was not discovered till twelve years after, although, before the publication of his '... | |
