Mercury has a semi-major axis of 0.39 AU. What is the period of Mercury’s orbit
in Earth years? Also,
Mars has a mass of 6.42 x 10^23 kg and a radius of 3394 km. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars in m/s^2?
How do you solve these problems? I know it has something to do with P2= A3 for the first question. But I have no idea what that means. I'm unbelievably confused, so could you break it down too?
I don't want answers, unlike most students. I want to know how to do it. Thanks xx.
