Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kepler's third law relates the orbital period of a planet to its distance from the Sun. In this equation, T represents the time it takes for Mercury to complete one orbit around the Sun, which is its sidereal period, measured in years.

Mercury Obeys Kepler's Third Law A3/T2 = 1

Mercury Obeys Kepler's Third Law A³/T² = 1
