What do the length of the planets year and its distance from the sun have in common?
There is a relationship between the planets distance from the sun and the time taken for one orbit (planets year), described in Keplers third law. The square root of the time taken to orbit the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance between the sun.
Why do planets differ in their orbital speed?
Because according to Kepler's laws the orbital speed of a planet is proportional to the square root of the reciprocal of the distance: v = d-½.
What were Keplers laws of?
Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion:1] Each planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus2] The line form the sun to any planet sweeps out equal areas of space in equal time intervals3] The squares of the times of revolution (days, months or years) of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their average distances from the sun.
A calculation of how long it takes a planet to orbit the Sun would be most closely related to which Kepler's Law?
Kepler's 3rd law of planetary motion. It states that the square of a planets orbital period is proportional to the cube of a planets distance from a star.In mathematical notationTO2 = k*R03WhereTO = It's orbital periodRO = It's distance from the stark = A constant.
Is mercury inside or outside the asteroid belt?
Inside. Mercury is the planet nearest the Sun. It is the smallest of all eight planets and is the second hottest. It travels the fastest around the Sun according the Kepler's Third Law (square of the semi major axis [radius of orbit] divided by the Orbital Period cubed).The asteroid belt is situated between Mars and Jupiter and is believed to be the remnants of the rocky heavier elements that formed the inner four planets 5 billion years ago.It's in the asteroid belt because it's closest to the suninside

What was keplers theory?
He was the first person to suggest that the planets don't move in circles and the planets don't always move at the same speed all the time. He and Isaac Newton made more accurate predictions than the other scientists e.g. Artistotle, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Tycho Brahe.

How did newtons work on orbits add to work Kepler had done?
Newton derived Keplars findings from Newton's Theory of Gravity. Thus, newton 'explained' the basis for Keplars findings and extended them.
Is the square of the orbital period of a planet proportional to the cube of the average distance of the planet from the Sun?
Yes, according to Kepler's third law of Planetary Motion.

According to Kepler's third law the square of the planets period in years is?
T^2 is proportional to r^3 (or a^3).More exactly, T^2 = (2*pi)^2/(GM)*r^3 (or a^3).Where...T is the periodr is the radius of the orbita is the length of the semimajor axis of the orbitpi is about 3.142G is the gravitational constant 6.67x10^-11M is the mass of the planet

Is a square always a ractangle?
No. A rectangle is not the same as a square in any way, period.

Are any planets square shaped?
NO. It's part of the definition of a planet that it has to be spherical, more or less.
