Yes. T = (2pi / sqroot of GM) multiplied by the radius^3/2.

Which properties can be inferred from the stars orbital period?
a planet's orbital period. based off kepler's 3rd law (Wrong.)The planet's orbital radius. (Correct.)
What an orbit is and what factors affect the size speed and time period of an orbit?
An orbit is the path followed by a planet according to Kepler's laws, which are very accurate but not exact. Size, speed and period are all related by simple formulas so that if you know one you can find out the other two. The orbit is an ellipse and the size is usually measured by its mean radius, also called its semi-major axis, which is the average of the maximum and minimum distances. For the Earth that is 149.6 million kilometres. The orbital period is proportional to the mean radius to the power 1.5, while the orbital speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the mean radius.
What is the imaginary line in space?
ecliptic but its really a plane orbital radius
How far away are all of the planets from the sun?
Look in related links, "Planetary Attributes on Wikipedia". The column "Orbital Radius" shows the distance from the Sun, in AU. If you want that in kilometers, multiply the number of AUs by 150 million.
Which planet s orbital shape would be most similar to Jupiters orbital shape?
Jupiter's orbit is an ellipse with an eccentricity of 0.048, which means that it looks like a circle with the Sun off-centre by an amount equal to 0.048 times the average radius. Uranus has an eccentricity of 0.047 and that is the closest among the other planets.
Which planets has the largest orbital radius?
pluto
What happens to the period as the orbital radius increases?
yeet

a planet's orbital period. based off kepler's 3rd law (Wrong.)The planet's orbital radius. (Correct.)
The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius?
Yes, spot on, good guess . .
What factors affect energy?
charge, atomic radius, orbital penetration, and electron pairing.
Most asteroids are about 3 AU from the Sun What is the best estimate of the orbital period of a typical asteroid?
5.2 Earth yearsExplanation: Kepler's third law, shown below, relates a planet's orbital period to its orbital radius. T is the planet's orbital period and r is its orbital radius. k is a constant that depends upon the mass of the star at the center of the solar system.soT2 = kr3When AU are used in our solar system, k is 1. To solve, cube the orbital radius, so 33 is 27. Then take the square root of the result. The square root of 27 is close to 5.2, so the period of a typical asteroid is close to 5.2 Earth years.

Why is Hubble space telescope orbiting earth faster than Space Station?
It doesn't orbit earth faster. The ISS is in a lower orbit with a period of 91 minutes compared to the Hubble's orbital period of 96-97 minutes. Orbital periods generally increase with orbit radius and speed in the orbit decreases with increasing orbit radius.
Why are the group one elements the largest in each period?
They have the smallest nuclear charge of that period so there is less attraction for the electron allowing a larger orbital radius (larger size).
Uranus requires 84 years to circle the sun Find Uranus' orbital radius as a multiple of Earth's orbital radius?
19.2 rE
What trend does the atomic radius following along a period on the periodic table?
The atomic radius gets smaller the farther right it appears on the Periodic Table, until the addition of a new orbital increases the size again.
