Sir Isaac Newton made significant discoveries in astronomy, including formulating the laws of motion and universal gravitation. He also developed the first practical reflecting telescope, known as the Newtonian telescope. Additionally, Newton's work in celestial mechanics laid the foundation for our understanding of the motion of planets and other celestial bodies.
Gravity has always been there but Newton produced a theory that showed how it worked, and used the movements of the planets to show that the new theory was right. It changed the civiised world because Newton showed the way for further scientific discoveries with theoretical work being tested against experiment and observation.
Sir Isaac Newton is the scientist credited with formulating the law of gravity. His work on gravity and laws of motion were published in his book "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in 1687.
Some of Isaac Newton's most important discoveries include the laws of motion, universal gravitation, and the development of calculus. These discoveries laid the foundation for modern physics and mathematics, revolutionizing our understanding of the natural world.
Isaac Newton did not discover gravity, but he is credited with developing the universal law of gravitation and explaining the mechanics of gravity in his work "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica." The concept of gravity was known to ancient civilizations, and Newton's contributions built upon existing knowledge.
do it ur self
did isaac newton make any discoveries beside the apple discovery about gravity
If you mean Sir Issac Newton, calculus and gravity.
do it ur self
Gravity, he also made a new measurement of weight, Newtons
discoveries made by newton
gravity, what kept the planets in orbit, laws of motion
Physics, light and gravity mostly. Math. Giving calculus its' power.
Gravity is a natural phenomenon and science is the study of natural phenomena using logic and mathematics. Isaac Newton's theory of gravity from the 18th century was found to be good enough to explain the planets' orbits with very high accuracy, and the mathematical discoveries that were made led to many other scientific discoveries.
Newton's greatest achievements are the Law of Gravity, his laws of Motion, his development of Calculus, the Reflecting Telescope, his Theory of Light and his use of data, experiments and mathematical models.

Kepler made discoveries regarding the planet's distance from the sun and how long it takes a planet to orbit the sun. In Newton's Version of Kepler's Third Law, Newton expands on these ideas by using his Theory of Gravity.
