Kepler's
third law shows the relationship between the orbital period of an object and
the distance between the object and the object it orbits.
The
simplified version of this law is: P^2 = a^3
Where,
P =
period of the orbit in years = 0.62 years
a =
average distance from the object to the object it orbits in AU. The
astronomical unit AU is a unit of length which is roughly equivalent to the
distance from Earth to the Sun.
Therefore
calculating for a:
0.62
^ 2 = a ^ 3
a =
0.62 ^ (2/3)
a =
0.727 AU = 0.72 AU
Therefore we can interpret this as: The distance from Venus to the Sun is about 72% of the distance from Earth to
Sun.
Answer:
B. 0.72 AU
