Since Mars' period of revolution around the sun is 1.88 earth years, and Jupiter's is 11.86 earth years, and since a body's period of orbital revution depends only on its distance from the sun, each body whose orbit lies predominantly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter has an orbital period between 1.88 and 11.86 earth years.
The asteroid belt is not a "narrow" orbital ring, but a fairly wide orbital pathway in which almost countless rocky bodies orbit the sun. Some of the asteroids are a bit closer to the sun than others, and the periods of the solar orbits of the closer asteroids are a bit shorter than the paths of their neighbors farther out.
What else can I help you with?
If an asteroid is 4 AU from the sun and its period of evolution around the sun is 8 years does it obey Kepler's law?
Yes. A version of Kepler's 3rd Law is: The square of the period of revolution of a planet (or asteroid) around the Sun (in Earth years) is equal to the cube of its average distance (in AU from) the Sun. In this case that means 8 squared (64) should equal 4 cubed (64). It does. So, the asteroid is keeping to the Law. Thank goodness for that.
What is the revolution of the asteroid belt around the sun?
The revolution of asteroids in the asteroid belt is typically between 2 to 6 years, depending on the specific asteroid's distance from the Sun and its orbital speed. The average distance of the asteroid belt from the Sun is about 2.2 to 3.3 astronomical units (AU), with one AU being the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
What is the orbital period of asteroid 12867 Joëloïc?
The orbital period of asteroid 12867 Joëloïc is approximately 3.92 years or 1430 days. It completes one orbit around the sun in this time.
Is the period of revolution dependent on the size of the planet?
No. The period of revolution depends on the size of the orbit of the planet.
What is Mercury's period of revolution around the sun?
Mercury's period of revolution around the sun is about 88 Earth days.

Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt occur at distances where?
the period of an orbiting asteroid would be a simple fraction (like 1/3 or 1/4) of Jupiter's orbital period.
The period of revolution is related to?
the period of revolution is related to the semimajor axis.... :)
What is the period of revolution of Pluto's moon?
the period of revolution is about 6.4 days
Was the cretaceous period the last of period?
Yes, right up to the asteroid that may have killed the dino's

How long does it take an asteroid to make 1 revolution around the sun?
.72 light years
Is the period of revolution dependent on the size of the planet?
No. The period of revolution depends on the size of the orbit of the planet.
Which planet has twice the earth period of revolution?
Mars has roughly twice the Earth's period of revolution.
