Kepler's laws primarily address the field of celestial mechanics, which is the branch of astronomy that deals with the motions of celestial bodies under the influence of gravitational forces. Specifically, Kepler's laws describe the motion of planets around the Sun and establish fundamental principles regarding their elliptical orbits, the relationship between the time it takes a planet to orbit the Sun and its distance from the Sun, and the areas swept out by the line connecting a planet to the Sun. These laws laid the groundwork for Newtonian physics and our understanding of gravitational interactions in the solar system.
