हिन्दीWhat 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 \( M_S \)?
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 \( T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM_S}a^3 \).
