Answer:
False.
Explanation:
From Kepler's Third Law of plenetary motion, we know that:
<em>"The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit."</em>
Or, as expressed in mathematical terms:
, where <em>a</em> is the semi-major axis of the orbit (the distance from the center), and <em>T </em>is the orbital period of the satellite.
From this expression we can clearly see that if the orbit's semi-major axis is doubled, orbital period will be times longer to compensate the variation.
