Johannes Kepler published three laws of planetary motion, the first two in 1609 and the third in 1619. The laws were made possible by planetary data of unprecedented accuracy collected by Tycho Brahe.

Kepler's third law states that the period (P) of an object orbiting the Sun is equal to the semi-major axis (a) cubed. This is only an equality when "P" is measured in years and "a" in astronomical units. The following table shows that as the size of the orbit increases the orbital period increases as well. Note that P grows more rapidly than a ...

Apply Kepler’s Third Law. For the example moon: 23 Io Io Pa Pa which we know is 9. 5. Take the cube root of the value in column 4. A lookup table is provided. For the example moon, the cube root of 9 is 2.08 yielding: 2.08 Io a a 6. Rearrange to solve for the semi-major axis of the moon in terms of Io’s orbit.
