Answer:
One of the kepler laws is known as the law of periods. This law states that the square of the period of any planet is proportional to the cube of semi major axis of its orbit.
Mathematically it is written as given below
Where T is the orbital period, G is gravitational constant, M is mass of planet and a is semi-major axis.
Hence we can say that the orbital period of the planet revolving around the sun is proportional to (3/2)th power of semi-major axis of the orbit of the planet
