The full title, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and his System of the World, reveals its grand Celestial Mechanics ambition. The "System of the World" is the culmination of the work, where Newton applies his laws to the solar system. He derives Kepler's laws of planetary motion from his more fundamental law of gravitation, explains the tides as a product of gravitational pull from the Moon and Sun, calculates the masses of planets, and accounts for the precession of the equinoxes and the trajectories of comets. He presented a cosmic clockwork, predictable and governed by knowable laws.
