All these questions are you are askeing are very simple one you get the formula, P² = A³

Where; P= the Orbital Period and A = the radius of the semi-major axis.

In all the questions, you have asked, we have been assuming a circular orbit (not correct, but good enough for what you are looking for).

Now in this case A=10 so if we cube 10 we get 1000 and then take the square root of that we get 31.622.

So your answer (or at least the closest one) would be 32 years.

First it relies upon the place you're on Saturn (considering's a gas planet, a number of its valuable properties we notice orbiting speedier than others, and we nonetheless have not have been given any way of understanding how briskly the middle is rotating.) device I has a era of 10 h 14 min 00 s (844.3°/d) and encompasses the Equatorial Zone, which extends from the northern edge of the South Equatorial Belt to the southern edge of the North Equatorial Belt. All different Saturnian latitudes have been assigned a rotation era of 10 h 39 min 24 s (810.seventy six°/d), this is device II. For our consequence i visit chosen to apply the device a million type of 10 hours 14 min 00 sec via fact this device is on the equator. Saturn orbits the sunlight each 29.4571 earth years, or 10,759.22 earth days. 10,759.22 earth days cases 24 supply us, 258,221.28 earth hours. 258,221.28 divided via 10 hours 14 min (the size of a saturnian day) supplies us, 25,241.571 saturn days in saturns orbit. desire this helps!
