In the case that your ICA file doesn't open, it is highly likely that you do not have the correct software application installed on your PC to view or edit ICA file extensions. If your PC opens the ICA file, but it's the wrong application, you'll need to change your Windows registry file association settings.
He found the period of the planet's revolution around the Sun in years would be equal to the cube of its average distance from the Sun in astronomical units. Let us suppose we find an asteroid with a perihelion distance of 3 AU, and aphelion distance of 5 AU. Calculate its semimajor axis (average distance from the Sun) and use Kepler's Third Law to find its orbital period in years.
Relative to the stars, the sidereal period is the time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit. The orbit of a planet around the Sun measured with respect to the âfixed starsâ is used to determine the sidereal period. The sidereal period of the Earth is 365.25636 mean solar days, which is slightly longer than the tropical year (measured between successive vernal equinoxes) of 365.24219. In most calendar systems, the length of the year is taken to be 365 days, which is close to the Earthâs sidereal period. Leap years are added to reduce the amount of calendar drift between the observed dates of events (e.g. solstices and equinoxes) and their expected calendar dates. Planetary data: Sidereal Periods
