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.

The mass and radius of earth is 'Me' and 'Re' respectively and that of moon is 'Mm' and 'Rm' respectively. The distance between the centre of the earth and that of moon is 'D'.

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. Student D plotted graph of log T v/s log r and found the plot is straight line with slope 0.67 and with negative X-intercept. The correct graph is of student
