Question


How does the time period of revolution vary with the distance of the planet from the Sun?


Options:
A .   Greater the distance, lesser the time period
B .   Greater the distance, greater the time period
C .   The time period of revolution is independent of the distance from the sun
D .   The sum of time period and the distance from the sun is constant.
Answer: Option B
:
B
A planet has a definite path in which it revolves around the Sun. This path is called an orbit. The period of revolution of a planet around the Sun increases as the distance of the planet increases from the Sun. Hence, greater the distance, greater is the time period.
