Correct Answer: cube of the semi-major axis


Solution : The correct option is a cube of the semi-major axis.

According to Kepler's Law of Periods, a planet's orbital period square is precisely proportionate to its semi-major axis cube. One of Johannes Kepler's three laws of planetary motion was determined in the early 17th century. The semi-major axis of the planet's orbit, denoted by the symbol 'a', is the semi-major axis of the Law of Periods, which is mathematically defined as T2∝ a3. This rule may be used to determine how long an orbit around the sun will last for every planet in the solar system, including Earth.
