Orbital period is the <span> time taken for a given object to make one complete </span>orbit around another object. Mercury orbits the Sun in 88 days. Therefore, Mercury's orbital period is calculated by (88/365.25) or .241 Earth years. Hope this answers the question.

Orbital period of mercury can be calculated using the third law of Kepler which states that period squared equals to distance cubed, that is, (T1/T2)^2 = (a1/a2)^3 Where T1 is the orbital period of mercury, T2 is the earth orbital period and is equal to 1 year, that is, 365.25 days. a1 is the mercury axis and is equal to 0.39AU while a2 is the earth axis and is equal to 1AU. T^2 = (0.39)^3 = 0.059319 Therefore, T1 = 88 days.

4. The medium ground finch and the cactus finch are adapted to consume different types of foods. Can you think of a situation in
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Long beaks of medium ground finches allows them to opt for alternate sources of food in times of extremities while this is not the case with the cactus finches.

Explanation:

The medium ground finches have larger beaks and thus apart from small seeds they can also break open the large seed. In case if the small seeds get scarce, a medium ground finch can still survive by taking advantage of feeding on alternate source of food but small beaked birds such as cactus finches shall die out of starvation.

This adaptation of medium ground finches gives it a survival advantage over the cactus finches
