<prompt> Nako ea ho potoloha ha polanete e tsejoa joang?nan  <response>: Instruction in English: How is a planets orbital period determined? . Response in English: Orbital period is the time taken by an object - such as a planet - to complete one orbit around the central star, such as a sun. The orbital period of a planet is determined by its distance from the star as well as the stars mass. The bigger the distance between a planet and its star, the longer the orbital period will be.One way to determine a planets orbital period is through observations. Scientists can track the motion of a planet over a period of time and determine how long it takes for it to return to the same position in its orbit. Alternatively, a planets orbital period can also be calculated mathematically using Keplers Third Law of Planetary Motion. This law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis average distance of its orbit, with the constant of proportionality being the same for all planets orbiting the same star. By measuring the distance of a planet from its star and knowing the stars mass, scientists can then use this formula to calculate the planets orbital period. . Response in Sesotho: Nako ea Orbital ke nako e nkuoang ke ntho - joalo ka polanete - ho phethela potoloho e le ngoe ho potoloha naleli e bohareng, joalo ka letsatsi. Nako ea ho potoloha ha polanete e khethoa ke bohōle ba eona ho tloha naleling hammoho le boima ba naleli. Ha sebaka se pakeng tsa polanete le naleli ea sona se le seholo, nako ea potoloho e tla ba telele. Tsela e ngoe ea ho tseba nako eo polanete e potolohang ka eona ke ka ho shebella. Bo-rasaense ba khona ho bona hore na polanete e tsamaea joang ka nako e itseng me ba bone hore na e nka nako e kae hore e khutlele sebakeng se tšoanang le potolohong ea eona. Ntle le moo, nako ea ho potoloha ha polanete le eona e ka baloa ka lipalo ho sebelisoa Keplers Third Law of Planetary Motion. Molao ona o bolela hore square of the orbital period of planet e lekana ka ho toba le cube ea semi-major axis karolelano ea bohōle ba potoloho ea eona, me ho sa fetohe ha tekano ho tšoana ho lipolanete tsohle tse potolohang naleli e le ngoe. Ka ho metha bohōle ba polanete ho tloha naleling ea eona le ho tseba boima ba naleli, joale bo-rasaense ba ka sebelisa mokhoa ona ho bala nako ea potoloho ea polanete.
