Sir Isaac newton's laws are named the 'Three Laws of Universal Dynamics'.
'Universal' because it means they apply on Earth and out in the Universe. 'Dynamics' , because it means movement.
So the laws refer to movement of all objects, be it on Earth or in Space.
The Three Laws are ;_
-
An object(mass) will remain stationary or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force.
-
Force is directly proportional to acceleration, or Force is directly proportional to mass. ( F = ma)
-
To every force there is an equal and opposite force.
In the story of the apple falling on his head, he perceived not only the apple falling to the ground (gravity), but infinitessimally the ground(Earth) moved towards the apple, because the apple has gravitational attraction.
NB It has been calculated that two VLCC's (supertanker ships) when berthed along side each other, they have a gravitational force of attraction of 0.5 kg.
The first one to assume that gravity held planets in orbit and that gravity held the universe together was Sir Isaac Newton during the year 1666-1667 when according to legend an apple fell on his head at his home.
Gravity can be explained as "The force that attracts objects to other objects." Scientists don't really know how gravity works, but most scientists accept the theory that gravity is the result of objects "pinching" space.
The Sun's massive "pinch" in space causes all other objects near it to be drawn towards it. That keeps objects like the planets and asteroids in orbit around the sun.
Sorry if that was to complex of an answer, but I hope it helped.
No, Newton did not have his own basic theory, but after his discoveries in physics and mathematics he was able to prove that the planets must move in elliptical orbits under the Sun's gravity. This confirmed Johannes Kepler's theory for the first time, so in a way the whole question of the planets' orbits was settled by Newton.
Yes, it was Sir Isaac Newton, during the year 1666 when, according to his journals, an apple fell on his head while he was sitting under a tree.
Newton's major contribution was to describe gravity as an inverse-square law and he produced a formula that allows the force between two bodies to be calculated if the distance and the two masses are known. It was already known that an inverse-square law explained the elliptical orbits of the planets, but Newton's improvement allowed the masses of the planets to be calculated.
Isaac Newton thought of the idea of gravity, but he did not understand how it works, much less anyone else. The one who explained how gravity works was Albert Einstein.
Many, from the ancients to the middle ages.
One exception from ancient Greece was Aristarchus of Samos (c. 270 BC) who proposed a heliocentric system.
Isaac Newton proved gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun. His Theory of Gravity confirmed the observations of Tycho Brahe and the reasoning of Kepler.

What is the brightess planet?
Viewed from Earth, Venus is the brightest planet.
How was tycho brahe's theory of the universe different from those of the earlier astronomers?
Roughly, the Tycho Brahe model of the solar system was something between the ptolemic geocentric model of the solar system and the copernican heliocentric model. The sun still revolved around the earth but all other planets revolved around the sun. Interestingly, it was Tycho's pupil Kepler, that refined the Copernican model to include elliptical orbits (until then, orbits were assumed to be perfect circles).
What do you call the tiny part of our galaxy in our solar system?
"Our solar system." The "part of our galaxy" that's in our solar system is the solar system.
Who introduced the idea of a heliocentric model of telescope that uses mirrors?
I believe you are confusing two things here; there is no such thing as a "heliocentric model of telescope". There is a heliocentric model of our Solar System, and there are telescopes. The two are unrelated.
What In a scale model of the solar system objects would be the largest?
The sun, followed by the gas giant planets.
Why did icaac newton help with the heliocentic model?
he thought it was a way to help improve the solar system
What is a model of a solar system?
It is a small version of the solar system
What is the currently accepted model of the solar system?
Heliocentric: It is the model that states that the sun is in the center of our solar system.
Why is the heliocentric picture of the solar system called a model of the solar system?
The Heliocentric picture of the solar system is a model because it was given as a theory by Copernicus to describe the solar system. In prior centuries people believed that the earth was the center of the solar system.
How are the real solar system and a model of the solar system different?
The real solar system consists of the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in actual space. A model of the solar system is a representation of the real solar system, typically smaller in scale and used for educational purposes. The real solar system is dynamic and follows the laws of physics, while a model offers a simplified version for easier understanding.
Who designed a model after the solar system?
The current model of the solar system was first conceived by Nicolaus Copernicus, but the idea of a heliocentric solar system was known to the Greeks of antiquity.
Where electrons are placed in solar system model?
The electrons typically rotate around the nucleus in the solar system model.
Is the geometric model the solar system?
No, the geometric model is a representation of spatial relationships using points, lines, and shapes. The solar system is a physical system of celestial bodies including the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that are bound together by gravity.
What is a model of planets orbiting called?
A model of planets orbiting is called a heliocentric model, where planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits. This model was first proposed by Copernicus in the 16th century as an alternative to the geocentric model.
When did Isaac Newton find out that the solar system was held by gravity?
1665
What is a good sentence for heliocentric?
The scientist made the heliocentric model of the solar system. It is a word for the graphical model of our solar system.
How does the model of the solar system differ from model?
it is bigger
