Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise 3: Calculating Planetary Periods**
In this exercise, use the derived equation to calculate the orbital period of each planet or minor planet based on its semi-major axis. Input your calculations in the given table.
**Instructions:**
- Match the decimal places in the calculated period (column 4) with the actual period (column 3).
- Determine the discrepancy (the difference between the actual and calculated periods) and note it in the final column. Discard any negative signs.
| Planet/Minor Planet | Semi-major Axis (AU) | Actual Period (yr) | Calculated Period (yr) | Discrepancy | Discrepancy % |
|---------------------|-----------------------|--------------------|------------------------|-------------|---------------|
| Mercury | 0.3871 | 0.2408 | 0.2408 | 0 | 0 |
| Venus | 0.7233 | 0.61515 | 0.61515 | 0 | 0 |
| Earth | 1.0000 | 1.0000 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Mars | 1.5237 | 1.8808 | 1.8808 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceres | 2.767 | 4.5909 | 4.6027 | 0.012 | 0.261 |
| Jupiter | 5.2028 | 11.86461 | 11.86740 | 0.00279 | 0.02352 |
| Saturn | 9.5388 | 29.4589 | 29.4605 | 0.0016 | 0.00543 |
| Uranus | 19.18 | 84.0013 | 83.9988 | 0.0025 | 0.00298 |
| Neptune | 30.0611 | 164.8095 | 164.8190 | 0.0095 | 0.00577 |

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction
Discripancy describes the deviation from the actual value.
In the question discrepancy means how the calculated value varies from the actual value.
Discrepancy is the difference between the actual and calculated orbital periods.
We can calculate the discrepancy from the formulas below-
Discrepancy= Actual period (yr) - Calculated period (yr)
Leave off any negative signs.
