What is the relation between the time period of a planet and the semi-major axis \( a \) for an elliptical orbit about the Sun of mass \( M_S \)?

  1. A
    \( T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM_S}a^{3/2} \)
  2. B
    \( T = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM_S}a^3 \)
  3. C
    \( T^2 = \frac{GM_S}{4\pi^2}a^3 \)
  4. D
    \( T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM_S}a^3 \)
View Answer & Solution

Correct answer · Option D

\( T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM_S}a^3 \)

Explanation

Kepler's third law for elliptical orbits replaces \( R \) by the semi-major axis \( a \), giving \( T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM_S}a^3 \).
