उत्तर १
Distance of the Earth from the Sun, re = 1.5 × 108 km = 1.5 × 1011 m
Time period of the Earth = Te
Time period of Saturn, Ts = 29. 5 Te
Distance of Saturn from the Sun = rs
From Kepler’s third law of planetary motion, we have
T = `((4pi^2r^3)/"GM")^(1/2)`
For Saturn and Sun, we can write
`(r_s^3)/(r_e^3) = (T_s^2)/(T_e^2)`
`r_s = r_e (T_s/T_e)^(2/3)`
`=1.5 xx 10^11 ((29.5T_e)/T_e)^(2/3)`
`=1.5 xx 10^11 (29.5)^(2/3)`
`= 1.5 xx 10^11xx 9.55`
`=14.32 xx 10^11` m
Hence, the distance between Saturn and the Sun is `1.43 xx 10^(12)` m.
उत्तर २
We know that `T^2 oo R^3`
`:.(T_s^2)/(T_e^2) = (R_s^3)/(R_e^3)`
where subscript s and e refer to the Saturn and Earth respectively.
Now `T_s/T_e = 29.5`[given]; `R_e = 1.50 xx 10^8` km
`(R_s/R_e)^3 = (T_s/T_e)`
`R_s = R_exx [(29.5)^2]^(1/3)`
`= 1.50 xx 10^8 xx (870.25)^"1.3" `km
`= 1.43 xx 10^9 km = 1.43 xx 10^12` m
∴Distance of saturn from Sum `= 1.43 xx 10^(12)` m

To verify Kepler's third law graphically four students plotted graphs. Student A plotted a graph of T (period of revolution of planets) versus r (average distance of planets from the sun) and found the plot is straight line with slope 1.85. Student B plotted a graph of T2 v/s r3 and found the plot is straight line with slope 1.39 and negative Y-intercept. Student C plotted graph of log T v/s log r and found the plot is straight line with slope 1.5.

A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let r be the distance of the body from the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be v, angular velocity ω, kinetic energy K, gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular momentum l. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which ones decrease.
Earth’s orbit is an ellipse with eccentricity 0.0167. Thus, earth’s distance from the sun and speed as it moves around the sun varies from day to day. This means that the length of the solar day is not constant through the year. Assume that earth’s spin axis is normal to its orbital plane and find out the length of the shortest and the longest day. A day should be taken from noon to noon. Does this explain variation of length of the day during the year?
