To solve the problem of how many days will be in a year if the Earth is at half its present distance from the Sun, we can use Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We need to determine the new length of a year (T2) when the Earth's distance from the Sun is halved (R2 = R/2). We know that the current length of a year (T1) is 365 days. ### Step 2: Apply Kepler's Third Law Kepler's Third Law states that the square of the orbital period (T) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (R) of its orbit: \[ T^2 \propto R^3 \] ...
