Question

Jupiter is 5.2 times farther from the Sun than Earth is. Find Jupiter's orbital period in Earth years.?

I don't even understand how to attempt this problem.
Please help.

Answer 1

Use Kepler's law, which states that the orbital period squared is proportional to the cube of the orbital radius. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler%27s_law

Answer 2

just find where Jupiters orbital patern in Earth years the 5.2 thing is supposed to be a hint

Answer 3

Here's a hint: Use Kepler's third law of planetary motion.

Actually, that's far more than just a hint.
