Match each statement with the law. (Some answers may be used more than once. Some may not be used at all.)
According to this law planetary orbits are all ellipses.
According to this law if the semimajor axis of the orbit is 4 AU's then the orbit period is 8 years.
According to this law the speed of a planet would be greatest when farthest from the sun.
This law determines the how the speed at which the planet moves on the orbit changes with time.
