Question
What does Kepler’s third law reveal about the motion of planets farther from the Sun?
Explanation
Kepler’s third law (T2∝a3) shows that planets farther from the Sun (larger semi-major axis a) have longer orbital periods (T), as the period increases with the distance cubed. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to They have longer periods. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
