Johannes Kepler published a relationship between how long a planet takes to orbit the Sun and the size of that orbit, something we now call his 3rd law of planetary motion, or just “Kepler’s 3rd law”. It states that

whereis the period of the orbit andis the size of the orbit. Kepler also found that the planets orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits (his 1st law), and so the size of the orbitthat we refer to is actually something called the “semi-major axis”, half the length of the long axis of an ellipse.
Any proportionality can be written as an equality if we introduce a constant, so we can write

wheres our constant of proportionality
