Use the small-angle formula to calculate the angular diameter (in arc minutes) of Mars (d = 6.79 ✕ 103 km) as seen from Earth if Mars were at the location of the Sun (D = 1.5 ✕ 108 km).
From the data measured read off the period, P and the orbital radius, a from thegraph for the moon Ganymede . These values will have units of hours for the period P, and Jupiter Diameters (J.D.) for a. Enter your results here:P (period) = _________ hours a (orbital radius) = ________ J.D.   After,In order to use Kepler's Third Law, you need to convert the period into years, using: 1 day = 24 hours and 1 year = 365.25 days. The orbital radius must be converted to A.U., using 1050 J.D. = 1 A.U. Enter your converted values here: P (period) = _________ years a (orbital radius) = ________ A.U.
