Which object orbits Earth in both the Earth – centered (geocentric) and Sun – centered (heliocentric) models of our solar system?
Use Kepler's third Law to determine how many days it takes a spacecraft to travel in an elliptical orbit from a point 6670 km from earth's center to a point 385,000 km from earth's center(the mass of earth is 5.97*10^24 kg).
