  • Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that Earth and other planets revolve around the sun or the Heliocentric Theory of the universe.
  • Johannes Kepler discovered three major laws of planetary motion. They are 1) The planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus. 2) The line joining the planet to the sun sweeps over equal areas in equal intervals of time. 3) There is an exact relationship between the squares of the planets’ periodic times and the cubes of the radii of their orbits.

Nirav's house is 40 m south of Akash's house. Daksh's house is to the east of Akash's house in a straight line at a distance of X m. Prakash's house if to the west of Akash's house in a straight line at a distance of Y m. If the shortest distance between Prakash's house and Nirav's house is 50 m and the shortest distance between Daksh's house and Nirav's house is also 50 m, then what is the distance between Prakash's house and Daksh's house? 
The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. These sentences, when properly sequenced form a coherent paragraph. Select the most logical order of sentences from among the options.  P: First, with the discovery of the planet Kepler 90i, orbiting the star Kepler 90, we now know of another star besides the Sun that has eight planets orbiting it.  Q: But the announcement of the discovery of two new exoplanets, Kepler-90i and Kepler-80g by the NASA is particularly significant R: Second, Christopher Shallue, a software engineer at Google, and Andrew Vanderburg, of the University of Texas, Austin, have discovered it using a deep learning neural network — an artificial intelligence tool that mimics the workings of a human brain.  S: Exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system, are routinely being discovered, with the number of those that have already been found now standing at 3,567.
