Kepler defined laws based on one special case-the observed motions of planets in the Solar System, while Newton defined theoretical laws that describe the general behavior of all motions in the universe.

Kepler reported how planets moved, and Newton explained why.

Kepler's approach was empirical, while Newton's was theoretical.
