P
Determining Orbital Period of a Planet
Using the equation P2 = (4 * pi2 * a3)/(G(M+m)) to find the orbital period of Earth where: P = orbital period a = semi-major axis = 1.50e11 m G = 6.67e-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 M = mass of sun (in this case) = 1.989e30 kg m = mass of Earth = 5.972e24 kg I have been trying to find the orbital...- polskamafia
