The mass of the sun is 2 × 1030 kg, and the distance between neptune and the sun is 30 au. what is the orbital period of neptune in earth years? 30 earth years 164 earth years 3.8 × 1011 earth years 2.3 × 1017 earth years

Sagot :

The Neptune's time period of orbit is 164.3 earth years.

We have given that the mass of the sun is 2 × 1030 kg.

The distance between neptune and the sun is 30 au

What is the  mathematical expression of Kepler's law ?

[tex]T^2 = 4\pi ^2a^3/GM[/tex]

Where T is in earth years, a is astronomical units and

M = solar masses.

4π²/GM = 1,

Therefore we get

[tex]T^2 = a^3[/tex]

[tex]T = \sqrt(a^3)[/tex]

[tex]T = \sqrt(30^3)[/tex]

[tex]T = 164.3[/tex]

Therefore, the Neptune's time period of orbit is 164.3 earth years.
