Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the orbital period of a planet that is three times further from the sun than Earth. Provide the necessary equation.

💡 Hint: Use the ratios of distance in relation to the known period of Earth.

Question 2

If a comet has a highly elliptical orbit with a semi-major axis of 5 AU, predict how long it would take to complete one orbit.

💡 Hint: Work with the semi-major axis in astronomical units and remember to take the square root for the period.
