I used Newton's version of Kepler's third law to calculate Saturn's mass from orbital characteristics of its moon Titan?
Yes, the equation p2 = a3, where p is a planet's orbital period in years and a is the planet's average distance from the Sun in AU. This equation allows us to calculate the mass of a distance object if we can observe another object orbiting it and measure the orbiting object's orbital period and distance.
What is saturns period of revolution length of 1 year?
About 29.5 Earth years.
The period of revolution of a planet is most closely related to its what?
Semimajor axis of its orbit, the average of the maximum and minimum distance from the Sun. <<>> That's basically the planet's average distance from the Sun.
What is saturns rotation period in earth days?
It takes 10,832 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun.
How long is Saturns orbital period?
Saturn takes 29.447 years to make one orbit of the sun.
What is Saturns day lenghth?
The average rotation period (day) of Saturn is about 10 hours and 30 minutes.

If a planet had an average distance of 10 au what would it's orbital period be?
It would depend on the star it was orbiting. If it were in our solar system, its orbital period would be little more than 30 years. (Saturn is approximately 9.5 AU from the Sun.)
An object has been located orbiting the sun at a distance from the sun of 65 AU what is the approximate orbital period of this object?
5
The formula for average speed is?
Average speed over a period of time = (distance covered in a period of time) divided by (time it took to cover the distance).
What is saturns period of revolution length of 1 year?
About 29.5 Earth years.
What can be said about a planet orbiting an identical star with an orbital period of 500 days?
The planet must be farther from the star than Earth is from the Sun. According to Kepler's third law, a longer orbital period means that the planet must be farther from its star. In fact you could work out its average distance from the star, using Kepler's law.
What was the average speed during this time period in kilometers per minute?
distance
What is the maximum orbiting height?
A2. There is no maximum orbiting height. Consider for a moment the comets of long return period.
What is saturns orbital period?
Saturn orbits the Sun once every 29.4571 Earth Years.
The period of revolution of a planet is most closely related to its what?
Semimajor axis of its orbit, the average of the maximum and minimum distance from the Sun. <<>> That's basically the planet's average distance from the Sun.
What two factoers are used to calculate average speed?
Average speed during a period of time =(distance traveled during the time) divided by (length of the time period)
