Cara Menghitung Kepler Third Law
learn.whatIsHeading
Kepler's third law relates orbital period to orbital distance. It explains why planets farther from the Sun take longer to orbit.
Rumus
The calculator applies T² = (4π² / GM) × a³
- GM
- GM value — Variable used in the calculation

By definition
Kesalahan Umum yang Harus Dihindari
- ✕Using incorrect AU values or unit conversions
- ✕Confusing period with frequency
Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
Does Kepler's law apply to all objects?
Yes, it applies to any orbit around a massive central body, from planets around stars to satellites around planets.
Why is period proportional to distance to the 3/2 power?
Gravity weakens with distance, requiring slower speeds at greater distances, which more than compensates for longer path length.
