Explore Kepler's Third Law through a hands-on Python demonstration in this 28-minute video tutorial. Dive into orbital mechanics by modeling planetary motion around a star, calculating orbital periods and semi-major axes for various orbits. Follow along as the instructor builds an orbital model, determines orbital periods, finds key parameters, creates functions, and generates graphical representations. Gain practical coding experience while deepening your understanding of celestial mechanics. Access supplementary resources, including Python code and related videos on Kepler's First and Second Laws, to enhance your learning experience.
