Yes, spot on, good guess . .
There are no planets in orbit around the Earth !. Orbiting the Sun - Pluto has the longest orbital period at 248 years - although it has now been declassified as a planet. This leaves Neptune - with an orbital period of just under 165 years.
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.
At what distance from the Sun would a planet's orbital period be 3 million years?
That's Kepler's third law. He derived it empirically from Tycho's observational data, and it can be derived from Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Not at all. The only thing that sets the orbital period is the semimajor axis, which is the average of the maximum and minimum distances from the Sun.
Yes. T = (2pi / sqroot of GM) multiplied by the radius^3/2. A planets mass DOES NOT affect its orbital period. A planets radius DOES affect its orbital period.
Jupiter's orbital period is only 1.53% less than1/7 the orbital period of Uranus.
This is known as the planets orbital period. For the Earth, this is one year.

Orbital period is the time it takes a planet to go around its star once.
Ganymede's orbital period around Jupiter is 7.154 Earth days.
The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
