Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.
Earth has an orbital period of 365 days and its mean distance from the sun is 1.495×108 km. The planet pluto's mean distance from the sun is 5.896×109 km. Using kepler's third law, calculate pluto's orbital period in earth days.
