Kepler's harmonic law states that the distance of a planet from the Sun corresponds to the period of time it takes the planet to orbit the Sun. The formula looks like this: Which statement best describes this formula summarizing Kepler's harmonic law?

OpenStudy (sneakysquash):

-The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius. -The square of the orbital radius of a planet to the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital period. -The cube of the planet's orbital radius equals the orbital period of a planet around the sun. -The orbital period to the second power of a planet around the sun is proportional to the planet's orbital radius to the fourth power.

Okay so I will try to explain this to you so I won't get another flipping report.....okay so, model of the solar system that suggested the Sun was the center of the universe and planets orbit it in circular paths...so the answer would be Number one The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius.

The answer is -The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius.

OpenStudy (sneakysquash):

thanks man. I really appreciate ur help. On this test.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I appreciate you wanting my help!!!

OpenStudy (sneakysquash):

yeah. what was it again, a b c or d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A-The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius.

OpenStudy (sneakysquash):

okay, thanks for the direct answer, that really helps more than you explaining it.

OpenStudy (sneakysquash):

Just to be clear, A correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes boii yessss the answer is A X'D

OpenStudy (sneakysquash):

Okay, A it is. thanks.
