By squaring the period of revolution (earth years) in Kepler's third law, the equation balances the relationship between the orbit's distance and the time taken to complete it. This allows for a direct comparison between different planets' orbital periods and distances from the sun.
What else can I help you with?
How do you find the orbital period in earth years of a periodic comet if the furtherest from sun is 31.5 astronomical units while the closest is 0.5 astronomical units?
You can find the major axis, 0.5+31.5 or 32 AU. The semimajor axis is half that, 16 AU. Then you can use Keplers 3rd law to calculate the period, which is 161.5 or 64 years.
How long would a year be on earth at 3 AU?
From Kepler's 3rd law the length of the year at that distance would be 3**(1.5) years, in other words 5.196 years, calculated by taking the square-root of 3-cubed.
Where does the earth fit in?
It's the 3rd planet from the sun.
What is the orbital period of an asteroid that has a semimajor axis of 2.8 au?
Even if we assume that the central mass is our sun, the question is still insufficient for an answer as just giving the semi-major axis isn't enough. We need to know the minor axis as well to calculate the eccentricity.
Length of a year on Pluto?
A year on Pluto is about 248 Earth years long. This is because Pluto takes approximately 248 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun due to its far distance from the Sun and its slow orbital speed.

Length of year on Jupiter?
Using Kepler's 3rd(?) law, the duration of a planet's orbit squared is the same as the planet's distance from the Sun cubed . Jupiter is (on average) 5.2 times further from the Sun than our planet, so we say 5.2 AU(Astronomical Units- distance from Earth to Sun) Using Keplers Law Length of Jovian Orbit Squared = 5.2 cubed (5.2x5.2x5.2) = 140.608 So to get the Jovian Orbital Duration we need the square root of 140.608 Which is 11.858. That's roughly 12 years
What must a planets mean orbital distance to the Sun be equal to?
this corresponds to Keplers 3rd law of planetary motion P ^2 = R^3 p Squared is equal to the period of revolution, in years r is equal to the distance from the sun in astronomical units. this is a simple version of the principle, Newton modified it.
Is the earth 2nd 3rd or 4th planet from the sun?
Yes, Earth is the third planet from the Sun.
The word earth used in a sentence?
The Earth is the 3rd planet closest to the sun after Mercury and Venus. The earth smelled weird in the stables because it was mixed with the horses' excretory waste.
If you are eleven yeas old how old would you be on Saturn?
Assuming you are 11 years old on Earth, you would be about 1/3rd (11 / 29.4) Saturn-years old.
What was the date of Keplers theory?
April 27, 4977 B.C. That was when he once calculated that the universe began. Or, you may mean when he published his Laws of Planetary Motion. He published his first 2 laws in 1609 and his 3rd law around 1619.
How do Keplers 3 laws of motion combined with the parts of an ellipse explain the amount of time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun based on its length?
One of the parts of an ellipse is the length of its major axis. Half that is called the semimajor axis. Kepler's 3rd law says that the time to do one orbit is proportional to the 3/2 power of the semimajor axis. IF the semimajor axis is one astronomical unit the period is one year (the Earth). For a planet with a semimajor axis of 4 AUs the period would have to be 8 years, by Kepler-3.
What position is the earth in?
3rd
How many time does it take for Saturn to circle the sun?
it takes it ten earth years i think but if you are in 3rd grade then you should be learning about the planets by now
Could the planet Earth be a lot older than geologists currently believe?
The age of the Earth, about 4.6 billion years, isn't really in dispute. Could it be a LOT older, as in billions of years older? No. We know that the Sun and our solar system are at least 3rd generation stars; otherwise there would be no heavy elements in the Earth.
What is the position of planet earth?
3rd
