Analyzing:
Based on the data provided, Kepler’s third law compares the orbital period and radius of an orbit of a planet to the distance of the planet to the sun. Mathematically, the greater the distance a planet is from the sun the greater its orbital period will be. The period of revolution of a planet is measured in days weeks, months or years. Analyze the statement above and identify if it is True or False. (1 mark)
True
False
