Use Kepler's third law to show that the closer a planet is to the Sun, the shorter its period.
Kepler's third law relates a planet's period around the Sun to the length of the (select) (semimajor or semiminor) axis such that
T2 = kR3. It is obvious from this expression that as the distance from the Sun (select) (T or k or R) decreases the period (select) (T or k or R) decreases as well.
I have to find the correct answer that fits, help me with this question please. I will rate you.

from equation (1) it is clear that the left-hand side is a constant since G is universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the star( which is also constant for a particular star) and the denominator also a constant. so, as the distance "a" the semimajor axis increases the time period "T" must increase. which means, shorter the semimajor axis, the planet will have shortest period.

According to Kepler's third law, there is a relation between the period of one revolution for the satellite, the semimajor axis length of the Moon, and its mass. By applying this law, find the Moon's mass, in Kg, while the orbital period of this motion is 50,000 s and the semi-major axis of the Moon is equal to 5 m.

Planetary Speed help: According to Kepler’s Third Law, planets closer to the sun have shorter years. We might ask the question, “Is this because they move faster, or because they don’t have as far to go?” Let’s investigate. Speed is distance divided by time, so if we know how far a planet travels and how long it takes, we can calculate speed. Look up the period and orbital distance (in years and AU, respectively) of Mercury, Venus and Earth. Assuming...

In Lecture 4, we discussed Kepler’s third law relatingthe orbital period of a planet (p) to the semi-major axis (orbital distance, a) of its orbit(p2= a3). We can apply this law as long the object orbits the Sun or another object of the same mass, and the units of orbital period are in (Earth) years and the orbital distance is in Astronomical Units(AU). [1AU is equal to the distance between the Earth and the Sun]. [Note: Newton extended this law...
