Hypothetical planets are configured.
Two hypothetical planets orbit their star according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
If one of the planets has an orbit which has a semimajor axis three time that of the other, then numerically how much greater is it orbital period compared to the other?
Kepler's laws of planetary motion are explained.
What is this?
