Dione, a moon of Saturn, has an orbital radius of 377,400 km, and an orbital period of about 2.737 Earth days. Find the orbital period of Rhea, another moon of Saturn, which has an orbital radius of 527,040 km. Find the period in Earth days. Round to the nearest hundredth. Don't worry about putting the unit, just put the answer.

The day on Mars is 1.026 Earth-days long. The martian year lasts 686.98 Earth-days. The two moons of Mars take 0.32 Earth-day (for Phobos) and 1.26 Earth-days (for Deimos) to circle the planet.
