The distance of planet Jupiter from the ...

The distance of planet Jupiter from the Sun is `5.2` times that of the earth. Find the period of revolution of Jupiter around the Sun.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For the earth, `T_(1) = 1 year` , `r_(1) = 1 AU`
For planet venus, `T_(2) = ? , r_(2) = 0.72 AU`.
As `(T_(2)^(2))/(T_(1)^(2)) = (r_(2)^(3))/(r_(1)^(3))` or `T_(2) = T_(1) ((r_(2))/(r_(1)))^(3//2) = 1 ((0.72)/(1))^(3//2)`
`= 0.61 year`
`= 0.61 xx 365 = 233 days`
