Note: There are no textbook or videos directly to this section. If you want to review a certain type of model, you will need to go back to that Module.

We have spent a lot of time building models. Once we have a model, solving a real-world problem is just a matter of plugging in some values into your model.

Kepler’s Third Law: The square of the time, , required for a planet to orbit the Sun is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance, , that the planet is from the Sun. Assume that Neptune’s mean distance from the Sun is AUs and it takes Neptune about months to orbit the Sun. If it takes Saturn about months to orbit the Sun, what is Saturn’s mean distance from the Sun?
