the line connecting a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal periods of time (law of areas);
the square of the period of revolution of each planet is proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of the planet's orbit (harmonic law.)

The first states that the orbit of a planet describes an ellipse with the sun at one focus.

The third states that the squares of the periods of any two planets are proportional to the cubes of their orbital major axes
