Moons orbit planets, and planets orbit the Sun. Is Kepler’s constant the same for both circumstances?
Answer (2)
Kepler's constant differs for the orbits of moons around planets and planets around the Sun because it depends on the mass of the central body in each system. Hence, the constant would differ for systems such as the Earth-Moon and the Earth-Sun. ;
Kepler's constant is not the same for moons orbiting planets and planets orbiting the Sun, as it depends on the mass of the central body. The orbits of these celestial bodies follow Kepler's laws but have different constants due to the different gravitational influences. Thus, the value of Kepler's constant varies based on the system considered.
