What else can I help you with?
The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius This follows the?
Kepler's third law of planetary motion, which states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis or orbital radius. This relationship allows astronomers to predict the orbital periods of planets based on their distances from the sun.
What is the Orbital radius when the planet is closest to the sun?
The point when an orbiting object is closest to the central object is called periapsis. For the specific case of planets around the Sun, the term perihelion is used as well.
Which terrestrial planet has the largest core relative to its overall size?
Mercury has the largest core relative to its overall size among the terrestrial planets. The core makes up about 85% of Mercury's radius, compared to about 55% for Earth's core size relative to its radius.
Which planet's orbital shape would be most similar to Jupiter's orbital shape?
Neptune's orbital shape would be most similar to Jupiter's orbital shape in terms of being both slightly eccentric and inclined relative to other planets in the solar system. Both planets have oval-shaped orbits that are not perfectly circular, and they have orbital inclinations that are not in the same plane as the rest of the planets.
Which planet has the largest schwarzschild radius?
This is nothing to do with planets. It's part of the theory of black holes. Perhaps you mean if the planet's mass were concentrated into a black hole. In that case the answer is Jupiter, because it has the greatest mass.
How does a planets orbital radius affect its orbital period?
A planet's orbital radius directly affects its orbital period through Kepler's third law of planetary motion. The farther a planet is from the star it orbits, the longer its orbital period will be, assuming all other factors remain constant. This relationship is expressed mathematically as T^2 ∝ r^3, where T is the orbital period and r is the orbital radius.
Is Saturn large in scale compared to other planets?
by radius yes, 2nd largest
What happens to the surface temperature of a planet if you decrease its orbital radius?
If you decrease a planet's orbital radius, its surface temperature will increase.
Outer planets have smaller orbital periods than inner planets?
They are farther away and have larger orbital periods.
What is the name and diameter of the largest planet?
Jupiter is the largest planet, with an equator radius of ~71,492km and polar radius of ~66,854km. Jupiter also has a huge mass, which is 2.5 times that of all the other planets in our solar system put together!
The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius This follows the?

What planets moons are larger than Pluto and mercury?
Jupiter has four large moons, the largest being Ganymede, which is the largest moon in our solar system. It's mean radius is 2634km, larger than Pluto's 1153km radius and also larger than Mercury's 2440km radius.
What does Pluto have that planets don't?
Pluto has asteroids in its orbital path. Planets don't.
Which planet has the largest radius?
Jupiter is the largest planet and therefore has the largest radius. The radius of Jupiter is 43,441 miles (69,911 kilometers).
What is the Orbital radius when the planet is closest to the sun?
The point when an orbiting object is closest to the central object is called periapsis. For the specific case of planets around the Sun, the term perihelion is used as well.
Which terrestrial planet has the largest core relative to its overall size?
Mercury has the largest core relative to its overall size among the terrestrial planets. The core makes up about 85% of Mercury's radius, compared to about 55% for Earth's core size relative to its radius.
