If a planet of mass m is revolving around the sun in a circular orbit of radius r with time period, T then mass of the sun is

Many planets are revolving around the fixed sun in circular orbits of different radius (R) and difference time period (T) To estimate the mass of the sun the orbital radius (R) and time period (T) of planets were noted. Then "log"_(10) T v/s "log"_(10)R curve was plotted. The curve was found to be approximately straight line (as shown in) having y intercept =6.0 (Neglect the gravitational interaction among the planets) [Take G = (20)/(3) xx 10^(-11) in MKS, pi^(2)= 10 ] Estimate the mass of the sun .
