Why is Newton's version of Kepler's third law so useful to astronomers? It is the only way to determine the masses of many distant objects. O It tells us how rapidly a planet spins on its axis. O It explains why objects spin faster when they shrink in size. O It tells us that more-distant planets orbit the Sun more rapidly.
