Answer:

Kepler's third law of planetary motion

Step-by-step explanation:

Kepler's third law of motion gives the relationship between a planet’s distance from the sun and the amount of time it takes the planet to orbit the sun. Its formula is given by :


T^2=(4\pi ^2)/(GM)a^3

Where

T is the time taken by the planet to orbit the sun

M is the mass of sun

G is the universal gravitational constant

a is the distance of planet form the sun
