Sure! Here are the three laws of planetary motion in the correct order:

  1. Kepler's First Law: The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci.
  2. Kepler's Second Law: A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.
  3. Kepler's Third Law: The squares of the periods of any two planets are proportional to the cubes of the semi-major axes of their orbits.

If you need to insert or rearrange these, just let me know where you'd like them to go!
