(a) Jupiter's third-largest natural satellite, Io, follows an orbit with a semimajor axis of 422,000 km (4.22 ✕ 105 km) and a period of 1.77 Earth days (PIo = 1.77 d). To use Kepler's Third Law, we first must convert Io's orbital semimajor axis to astronomical units. One AU equals 150 million km (1 AU = 1.50 ✕ 108 km). Convert Io's a value to AU and record the result. aIo = AU (b) One Earth year is about 365 days. Convert Io's orbital period to Earth years and record the result. PIo = yr (c) Use the Kepler's Third Law Calculator to calculate Jupiter's mass in solar units. Record the result. MJup(Io) = MSun (d) Based on this result, Jupiter's mass is about that of the Sun. Jupiter has a similar fraction of the Sun's volume. The two objects therefore have rather similar density! In fact, Jupiter has a fairly similar composition as well: most of its mass is in the form of hydrogen and helium.
Use Kepler's Law, which states that the square of the time, T, required for a planet to orbit the Sun varies directly with the cube of the mean distance, a, that the planet is from the Sun.Using Earth's time of 1 year and a mean distance of 93 million miles, the equation relating T (in years) and a (in million miles) is 804375T2=a3.Use that relation equation to determine the time required for a planet with mean distance of 206 million miles to orbit the Sun. Round to 2 decimal places. years
