That’s a dependable variable because it’s relying on something else.
As the semimajor axis of a planet increase, the orbital period will decrease and the speed of the planet will decrease.
<h3>
What is Kepler's second law?</h3>
Kepler's second law of planetary motion describes the speed of a planet traveling in an elliptical orbit around the Sun.
This law exaplains the speed of planets around the sun, the speed of the planet increases as it nears the sun and decreases as it recedes from the sun.
From the findings, the astronomical unit of the Mercury is 0.387 and the orbital period is 0.24 year.


From the equation above, as the semimajor axis of a planet increase, the orbital period will decrease and the speed of the planet will decrease.

Answer:
D-all of the above
Explanation:
The answer is D because....
- Step one, It is not A Because although the statement is true it is not the best answer to fit the question. The soil does provide nutrients but it also does more, it provides temperature control, anchorage for the plant, and the soil contains oxygen in it to help the plant grow.
- Step two, lets look at B it provides them with water. Although this is true like A, it does more than provide them with water. It provides them a medium for growth.
- Step three, So this answer is not correct because based on the option choices for option D all of the above is correct. It provides them a medium for growth to the plants likings.
- Step four. This is correct because all of the above are true and best explain why soil is important to plants.
