For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:
T² = (4π²a³)/GM
where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)
Thus,
T² = a³
a = ∛(29.46²)
a = 0.67 AU
1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km

Answer:

For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:

T² = (4π²a³)/GM

where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)

Thus,

T² = a³

a = ∛(29.46²)

a = 0.67 AU

1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km

0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km

= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km

True/False: If an object stays still, but the observer moves, the Doppler Effect is still observered
Vladimir79 [104]

Well, Harry, what you said is not necessarily true the way you said it. 
But we know what you mean, and what you meant to say is true.

The Doppler effect is observed if there is relative radial motion
between an object and an observer <em><u>AND</u></em> if the object happens
to be putting out sound or light in the observer's direction.
