The semi-major axis of the orbit of Saturn is approximately nine times that of Earth. The time period of revolution of Saturn is approximately equal to

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Given, Semi-major axis of the orbit of Saturn=9 re

Where,re=semi-major axis of the earth

According to Kepler's law,

T2∝r3

Let the time period of revolution of Saturn around the sun isTS

∴   TS2TE2=9rere3

TS2=TE293

TS=TE293

=932×1year

≈27years
