Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 8P
One planet is three times farther from the Sun than another. Will the farther planet take more, less, or the same amount of time to orbit the Sun? Will the closer planet orbit slower, faster, or the same speed? How much longer will the farther planet take to orbit than the closer planet? If the closer planet is located at 10 AU, how far is the farther planet, and what are the two planet's names?
