Johannes Kepler


Johannes Kepler was one of six children and born on December 1571 and died November 1630. He was a German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer. Going to university, Kepler proved to excel in the field of mathematics and sciences and achieved a reputation for being a skillful astrologer. Kepler's most significant accomplishment in meteorology was the discovery of planetary motion and atmospheric tides. He discovered that planetary motion influenced the tides in the atmosphere meaning that depending on the time of year, due to how close the earth was to a planet or how it was rotation, the atmosphere would be effected causing an influence in the weather. Most of his other works were based on physics and astronomy. One of his works consist of the laws of planetary motion. He died at the age of 58 from being ill.
