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 notation

TO2 = k*R03

Where

TO = It's orbital period

RO = It's distance from the star

k = A constant.

What is a consequence of Keplers Second Law?

A consequence of Kepler's Second Law (law of equal areas) is that a planet moves faster in its orbit when it is closer to the Sun and slower when it is farther away. This results in an uneven distribution of orbital velocities throughout the planet's orbit.

How are Archaea more closely related to eukaryotes than to bacteria?

Arche bacteria are much closer to eukaryotes.Bacteria also have some similarities. NO. Archaea, Bacteria and Eukaryota. Bacteria are more closely related to the more complex organisms (Eukaryotes). Archaea are now considered in their own domain. The Archaea in plankton are the most abundant organism on the planet.
