• Every particle irrespective of its mass attracts
every other particle with a gravitational force
whose magnitude is directly proportional to
the product of the masses of the two particles
and inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between them and written as

a= semi-major axis of the elliptical orbit
The orbital period in the case of an elliptical orbit is given by
