Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbitfrom the sun.oThe further a planet is from the sun, the larger its period of revolution
A
Law of Areas
B
Law of Periods
C
Law of Orbits
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

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: -The squares of the periods of revolution of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their semimajor axis of its orbit. This is a statement of Kepler’s third law.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kepler’s third law : The square of its period of revolution around the Sun is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance of a planet from the Sun.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kepler’s third law, sometimes called the Harmonic Law, states that the square of an orbital period is proportional to the cube of its orbital radius.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.

Detailed explanation-6: -Kepler’s Third Law – The Law of Periods According to Kepler’s law of periods, ‘’The square of the time period of revolution of a planet around the sun in an elliptical orbit is directly proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis”.
