Which of the following statements is correct regarding Kepler's three laws of planetary motion? Angular momentum of any planet about an axis through the Sun and perpendicular to the orbital plane is not invariant during its motion. O Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun not being at its center. Orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to its distance from the sun. Kepler's laws are valid only for planets in the solar system.
