Homework Statement
A comet is 10 times farther from the sun than the Earth. Find the time it take to make its orbit around the sun.
Homework Equations
T^2/R^3 = K
K= 3.36X10^18
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to create a ratio, but I honestly have no idea where to start. I'm not even sure I need to know kepler's constant for this problem. and the answer is T=31.6
I don't know what to put as R, and that leaves me with two variables, R and T.
I also don't know if Kepler's constant is the same for the comet and the earth.
