Kepler's third law: T² ∝ r³, which on taking a square root becomes T ∝ r^{3/2}.

Kepler's third law of planetary motion states that the square of the time period T of a planet's revolution around the Sun is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (mean orbital radius) r of its orbit:

T2∝r3T^2 \propto r^3

Taking the square root of both sides:

T∝r3/2T \propto r^{3/2}
