What is the time period of revolution
of planet around the Sun whose
distance from the Sun is half of
the distance between
the Earth and
sun.
Answers
Answer:
Kepler's third law of planetary motion states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
Now as the distance of the planet from the sun increases, the length of the semi-major axis of its orbit will also increase and therefore the period of revolution will also increase.
Hence the given statement is False and correct option is B
