艾萨克·牛顿在其后发现彗星沿椭圆轨迹移动，处于环绕太阳的椭圆形轨道上，他还准确地预测了彗星能够一次又一次地回归。
Isaac Newton later discovered that comets move in elliptical, oval-shaped orbits around the Sun, and correctly predicted that they could return again and again.
太阳一年内的轨迹形成这种形状是因为地球围绕着与太阳略微不同的轴旋转，而我们的地球也沿着椭圆形轨道运行。
The sun makes this shape over a year because Earth rotates on a slightly different axis than the sun, and our planet also travels on an elliptical orbit.
接着开普勒证明了这个椭圆轨道也能很有效解释其他行星的运行轨迹。 然后他提出了行星运动定律，牛顿定律就是以此为理论基础的。
Kepler went on to show that an elliptical orbit is sufficient to explain the movement of the other planets and to devise the laws of planetary motion that Newton built on.
