Is this true?
(excerpted from http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~bertoldi/ub313/" about 2003 UB313)
"...Its very elongated orbit takes it up to 97 times farther from the Sun than is the Earth - almost twice as far as the most distant point of Pluto's orbit – so that it takes twice as long as Pluto to go around the Sun..."
Is there a direct correlation between orbital diameter and orbital period? I would have thought it would be logarthmic.
