Like other objects in orbit around the Sun, the Roadster obeys Kepler's Laws. Given that the Roadster orbits with an aphelion distance of 1.67 AU and a perihelion distance of 0.99 AU, what is the orbital period (that is, the time that it takes to make one orbit around the Sun) in years of the Roadster?

Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.
SnowT is an exoplanet orbiting star 27 Kood. If the planet’s orbital period is 3.75 days and 27 Kood's constant is 2.9X10^-19 s^2/m^3, what is SnowT orbital radius?
The figure below is a scaled representation of a planet's orbit with a semimajor axis of 1.598 AU. (Use the exact values you enter in previous answer(s) to make later calculation(s).)

A planet (in another galaxy) takes 5 000 Earth days to complete one full revolution around its own star (not the Sun). It is exactly as far away from its star as Earth is to its own Sun. Draw a FBD, then determine how many times more or less massive this star is than our sun (in other words, give a factor of mass, e.g “5x larger” or “5x smaller”)
