Kepler’s Third Law indicates that the Period (P) of an orbit is related to the semi-major axis (a) of the orbit with: P 2 = ka3 . Kepler noticed that the value of the constant k changes when we observe systems with different central objects. This means that the orbits of all of the planets in the Solar System have the same value for k, but that value is different for the Moon because all of the planets orbit the...
