...the distance of all the others follows as a natural consequence of the discovery of Kepler's great law, that : " The squares of the periodic times are...proportional to the cubes of the mean distances." The task, therefore, is only to find out the scale upon which the solar fysteni has been formed, as...

...third, that the distances of the various planets are so related to the periods of their revolution that the squares of the periodic times are proportional to the cubes of the mean distances from the sun. From these laws Newton made the following deductions : He inferred from the second law that the planet...

...easily find that T is proportional to a3/2 or that T2 is proportional to a8. This expresses Kepler's third law that the squares of the periodic times are proportional to the cubes of the major axes ; and, in the fourth theorem of the tract of 1684, Newton proved this law of Kepler and...
