How does the changing of the moon's orbital period change the calculated value of the planet's mass? a. Increasing the orbital period results in a higher calculated value for the mass of the planet. Decreasing the orbital period results in a lower calculated value for the mass of the planet. b. Increasing the orbital period results in a lower calculated value for the mass of the planet. Decreasing the orbital period results in a higher calculated value for the mass of the planet. c. Increasing the orbital period results in a higher calculates value for the mass of the planet. Decreasing the orbital period results in a higher calculated value for the mass of the planet.
Leave the moon's amplitude (semi-major axis) constant.
