To find the ratio of the time periods and speeds of two planets orbiting the Sun at different distances, we can use Kepler's laws of planetary motion. ### Step 1: Determine the ratio of the time periods According to Kepler's third law, the square of the time period (T) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (r) of its orbit. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ T^2 \propto r^3 ...
