Detailed explanation-1: -Kepler’s Third Law: the squares of the orbital periods of the planets are directly proportional to the cubes of the semi-major axes of their orbits. Kepler’s Third Law implies that the period for a planet to orbit the Sun increases rapidly with the radius of its orbit.
Detailed explanation-2: -Kepler’s third law-sometimes referred to as the law of harmonies-compares the orbital period and radius of orbit of a planet to those of other planets.
Detailed explanation-3: -A harmonic third law “The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.” That’s Kepler’s Third Law in a nutshell, and it arises from the third physical property of ellipses, related to its various axis points.
Detailed explanation-4: -Kepler’s third law states that square of period of revolution (T) of a planet around the sun, is proportional to third power of average distance r between sun and planet i.e. T2=Kr3 where K is constant.
