...solid content is 6254725974-3748 cubic miles, . . . Ans. 2157 miles. 18. Kepler's third law is, that the squares of the periodic times of any two planets are to each other in the same proportion as the miles of their mean distances from the sun. The earth's periodic time is 365-256384 days, and that... | |

...published in 1619. In that work, he demonstrated that " the squares of the periodic times of any tiro planets are to each other, in the same proportion as the cubes of their mean distances from the sun" — a law which has been found equally true of satellites and their... | |

...same space in the same time, at whatever point of its orbit the moving body may be. 3. The Rquares of the periodic times of any two planets are to each other in the same proportion as the cubes of their mean distances from the sun. The mere announcement of these laws, we repeat, is enough to show... | |

...— The jylanets move over equal areas in equal times. 3d. — The squares of the times of revolution of any two planets are to each other, in the same proportion as the cubes of their mean distances from the sun. "Of all the laws," says SIR JOHN HERSCHEL, "to which induction from... | |

...this : that if we compare the orbits of the different planets, the squares of the periodic times are in the same proportion as the cubes of the mean distances from the sun. This also, in conformity with the result of the theory of attraction following the law of the inverse... | |
