The period of a planet can be calculated using Kepler's third law, which states that the square of the period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbit. For a planet at a solar distance of 10 AU, the period can be calculated as (10^3)^(1/2) = 10 years.

∙ 12y agoAccording to Kepler's law that says [ T2/R3 = constant ],
that would be about 31.62 years.

Which is the only intra solar planet whose solar day is longer than its solar year?
Venus is the only inner solar system planet whose day (rotation period) is longer than its year (orbital period). Venus takes about 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis (solar day) and approximately 225 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun (solar year).
Which planet has 9 letters?
There is no planet whose name contains 9 letters
What planet starts with K?
None in our Solar System. Outside of it, there are a bunch of planets whose name starts with "K2", or with "Kepler", or with "KELT". Check the Wikipedia article "List of exoplanets (full)" for the complete list.
What is the biggest gas planet?
The gas planets are any of the four large outer planets of the Solar System, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, which consist largely of gas and whose visible surfaces are not solid, though they have solid cores.
The planet whose orbit has the greatest eccentricity is?
The planet with the greatest eccentricity in our solar system is Mercury. eccentricity refers to how much an orbit deviates from a perfect circle, and Mercury's orbit is the most elongated and eccentric of all the planets.

Venus is the only inner solar system planet whose day (rotation period) is longer than its year (orbital period). Venus takes about 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis (solar day) and approximately 225 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun (solar year).
Is there a planet whose name begins with T?
Not in our solar system there isn't.
What is the name of the planet of the solar system whose name is also the name of metal?
Mercury
Planet whose weight is more than the total weight of other planet?
Jupiter. Its weight is roughly 2.5 times the size of all the other planets in our solar system combined.
What planet is the only English name for a planet?
Earth is the only planet in our solar system whose name does not derive from Greek or Roman mythology. It is the only planet with a name that comes from English.
What planet's moon is close to the size of the planet?
There is no such planet known. In our solar system, the planet whose moon is closest in size to the planet which it orbits is none other than our own planet Earth. However, the Moon is still much smaller than the Earth. Pluto has a Moon that's big, but Pluto isn't a "planet" now, of course.

Which planet is just beyond earth?
Going outwards from the Sun, the next planet in the solar system after Earth would be Mars. Going inwards from Earth towards the Sun, the next planet is Venus - whose orbit is actually closer to Earth's than that of Mars.
Which planet has 9 letters?
There is no planet whose name contains 9 letters
Which planet has a moon bigger than itself?
Formerly than answer was Pluto, whose moon Charon is just over half its diameter. Now that Pluto is technically not a planet, than answer is Earth, whose moon is just over a quarter its diameter.
What planet starts with K?

Apart from mercury what other planet is closer to the sun?
No planet has been discovered yet whose average distance from the sunis smaller than that of Mercury.Mercury and Venus both orbit closer to the sun than Earth does.
