**Question:**
A star rotates in a circular orbit about the center of its galaxy. The radius of the orbit is \(4.8 \times 10^{20}\) m, and the angular speed of the star is \(8.1 \times 10^{-15}\) rad/s. How long (in years) does it take for the star to make one revolution around the center?

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a spiral pattern representing a galaxy with a circular orbit traced by a star. There are directional arrows indicating the rotation. The radius (\(r\)) of the orbit is marked, emphasizing the circular path around the center of the galaxy.

**Calculation Section:**
(b) The formula to calculate the time for one revolution is \( T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} \), where \(\omega\) is the angular speed. Convert this time from seconds to years for the final answer.

**Inputs:**
- Number: [Input box]
- Units: [Dropdown selector for units, e.g., years]
