Question 1

Kepler-160 is a star with several planets orbiting it. Two of these planets are Kepler-160b and Kepler-160c. Kepler-160b has an orbital period of 16.0 days16.0\text{ days}16.0 days and is at an average orbital distance of 0.16 AU0.16\text{ AU}0.16 AU from the centre of the star. Kepler-160c is at an average orbital distance of 0.36 AU0.36\text{ AU}0.36 AU from the centre of the star. Kepler's third law of planetary motion can be applied to these planets.
