What relationship did Kepler discover about planets and their orbital speed?

• Planets closest to the Sun will orbit with the fastest orbital speed.

• Planets with the greatest mass will orbit the Sun with the fastest orbital speed.

• Planets furthest from the Sun will orbit with the fastest orbital speed.

• Planets with the least mass will orbit the Sun with the fastest orbital speed.

In simplest terms, what does Kepler's 3rd law state?

• Planets take multiple years to complete an orbit around the Sun.

• There is no relationship between the distance of planet and the time it takes to orbit the Sun.

• There is a mathematical relationship between the distance of a planet and the time it takes to orbit the Sun.

• All planets in every solar system have the same orbital period.
