This is too garbled for anyone to make sense of. Distance in kg???? Also, Kepler's laws for planetary orbits give only proportional results. You can't use it to calculate Earth's orbit because they are the measurement standards: orbital distance = 1 AU and period = 1 year.

The distance from the earth to the sun is about 1.5Ã10^11 meters. The mass of the sun is about 2Ã10^30 kilograms.
Kepler's laws (there are three) do not give the absolute orbit periods. His third law states that "The squares of the [orbit] periods of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their semi-major axes [of the orbits]."
