Kepler's third law: the square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis, so T ∝ R³ᐟ².

Kepler's law of periods (third law) states that for planets orbiting the sun (or, more generally, any satellite in a near-circular orbit):

T2∝R3T^2 \propto R^3

Taking the square root of both sides:

T∝R3/2T \propto R^{3/2}
