Homework Statement
I need to find first of all the period of Halley's comet given that:
eccentricity: 0.967
perihelion: 8.8x10^7 km
and AU = 1.496x10^8km
Homework Equations
Kepler's laws
The Attempt at a Solution
I think that the
Perihelion = a(1-e) where a is the semi major axis. So I solved for a and then used t^2 = a^3 for period
