उत्तर
The square of its period of revolution around the sun is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance of a planet from the sun.
Explanation:
Mathematically, T2 ∝ r3, so `T^2/r^3` is the same for all planets; if the mean distance r increases, the period T increases so that T2 grows as r3. This shows the period depends on the cube of the distance.

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.
