Directions: Complete the given table by finding the ratio of the planet’s time of the revolution to its radius. Planet Average Radius of Orbit Times of Revolution     R3     T2     T2 /R3   Mercury 5.7869 × 1010 7.605 ×106       Venus 1.081 × 1011 1.941 ×107       Earth 1.496 × 1011 3.156 ×107       What pattern do you observe in the last column of data? Which law of Kepler's does this seem to support?
The picture below shows the model. Planets Moon Earth SUN Perihelion Heliocentric Aphelion Geocentric Solarcentric
Sort the characteristics according to whether they are part of the a cocentric model, the heliocentric madel, or both solar system models This model is Sun-centered. Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets. Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion. This model is Earth-centered. The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth. Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion. Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles. Geocentric Heliocentric Both geocentric and heliocentric
