Answer:
11.85 earth years ≈ 12 earth years
Explanation:
From Kepler's third law of Planetary Motion,
We know,
Let the distance between the earth and the sun be x (d2)
so, the distance between the sun and the Jupiter is 5.2x (d1)
Let the orbital period of earth be T2
Let the orbital period of Jupiter be T1
So, substituting them in the equation
(5.2x)³/x³ = T1²/T2²
(5.2³) = (T1/T2)²
√140.608 = T1/T2
11.85T2 = T1
So, the orbital period of Jupiter is 11.85 times the orbital period of Earth
orbital period of earth = 1 year
orbital period of Jupiter is 11.85 earth years or close to 12 years
