The distance of the planet Jupiter from ...

The distance of the planet Jupiter from the Sun is 5.2 times that of the Earth. Find the period of Jupiter's revolution around the Sun.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the period of Jupiter's revolution around the Sun, we can use Kepler's Third Law of planetary motion, which states that the square of the period of revolution of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (the average distance from the Sun). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the distances**: - Let the distance of Earth from the Sun be \( R_e \). - The distance of Jupiter from the Sun is given as \( R_j = 5.2 R_e \). ...
