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

Verified by Experts

Here `r_(j)=5.2r_(e)`
`T_(j)=1`year
`T_(j)=?`
Now `(T_(j)^(2))/(T_(e)^(2))=(r_(j)^(3))/(r_(e)^(3))`
or `T_(j)=T_(e)((r_(j))/(r_(e)))^(3//2)=1xx((5.2r_(e))/(r_(e)))^(3//2)=11.86` years
