Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the elliptical orbits of planets around the Sun, as described by Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion, the Sun is located at one of the foci, and nothing is specifically located at the other focus. The shape of the orbit is determined by the gravitational forces and the initial velocity of the planet, not by the presence of an object at the other focus.
