Satellite A smaller body which revolves or orbits around a larger one.
Kepler's First Law The path of each planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus.
Centripetal Velocity The velocity of an object traveling in a circular path directed at a tangent to the circle.
Kepler's Second Law Each planet moves so that an imaginary line drawn from the sun to the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal periods of time.
Kepler's Third Law The ratio of the cube of the mean radius of a planet's orbit to the square of its orbital period is the same for all planets.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
