my teacher told me it is R^3/T^2 but on many sites it is T^2/R^3. What is the difference?
 
Keepler has 3 laws:
1.) the path of the planets is an elliptical orbit
2.) an imaginary line sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time
3.) THE FORMULA: (Period of planet A/Period of Planet B)^2 = (Radius of planet a/ Radius of planet B)^3

where r is the orbital radius
