O Jupiter's third-largest natural satellite, lo, follows an orbit with a semimajor axis of 422,000 km (4.22 × 105 km) and a period of 1.77 Earth days (Plo = 1.77 d). To use Kepler's Third Law, we first must convert lo's orbital semimajor axis to astronomical units. One AU equals 150 million km (1 AU = 1.50 x 108 km). Convert lo's a value to AU and record the result. alo = AU
