Question

2. Mars is 1.524 AU from the Sun. What is Mars' orbital period, in Earth years?

Answer 1

Mars' orbital period in Earth years is approximately 1.233.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mars' orbit can be calculated using Kepler's third law. The orbital period of Mars, in Earth years, can be determined by taking the square root of Mars' distance from the Sun, which is given as 1.524 AU. So, P = square root of 1.524, which is approximately 1.233 Earth years. Therefore, Mars' orbital period in Earth years is approximately 1.233.

Answer 2

Answer: Rotation period (length of day in Earth days) = 1.026

Revolution period (length of year in Earth days) = 686.98
