If a semimajor axis is 2.77au what is period of Ceres years?

Using Kepler's third law, the period (P) of an object in orbit can be calculated using the formula P^2 = a^3, where a is the semimajor axis in astronomical units (au). For Ceres with a semimajor axis of 2.77 au, the period of its orbit around the Sun is approximately 4.61 years.


How long for ceres to orbit the sun?

What is the eccentricity of Ceres orbit?

Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, has an orbital eccentricity of approximately 0.08. This value indicates that its orbit is slightly elliptical, but not highly elongated. Compared to other celestial bodies, this eccentricity is relatively low, meaning Ceres' orbit is close to being circular.


What is an apofocus?

An apofocus is another name for an apocentre, the furthest point of an astronomical object in an elliptical orbit to its centre of attraction.


Why is Ceres not called a moon?
