27. The table below lists several imaginary planets. For each one, you are given a specific distance from the sun (a). Use Kepler's Third Law to calculate the orbital period that you expect for each planet. Then use the simulation to measure the orbital period. Watch this teacher video for important hints on completing the table. Planet Calculated Measured* a (AU) a3 P2 P (Years) P (Years) Arrakis 0.33 0.0359 0.036 0.1898 Dagobah 1.00 Cybertron 1.66 4.574 4.574 2.138 Coruscant 2.33 12.64 12.645 3.556 Caprica 3.00 27 26.998 5.196 * The measured period should match the calculated period quite closely. If you find a significant difference, this may be due to the simulation running slowly on your computer
