The motion of the planets is an observed fact. We describe their behaviour with laws.
For a long time it was an accepted fact that they had circular orbits but through better observation Brahe and Kepler found out that they were rather elliptical. Today we know that the orbits of the planets are far weirder than only elliptical and this is the fact that is accepted today.
