Kepler's third law shows the relationship between the orbital period of an object and the distance between the object and the object it orbits.

The simplified version of this law is: P^2 = a^3

Where,

P = period of the orbit in years = 0.62 years

a = average distance from the object to the object it orbits in AU. The astronomical unit AU is a unit of length which is roughly equivalent to the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Therefore calculating for a:

0.62 ^ 2 = a ^ 3

a = 0.62 ^ (2/3)

a = 0.727 AU = 0.72 AU

Therefore we can interpret this as: The distance from Venus to the Sun is about 72% of the distance from Earth to Sun.

<span>Answer: B. 0.72 AU</span>

Suppose an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron. Comple
AfilCa [17]

Explanation:

An alpha particles is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.  

Symbol of an alpha particle is ^{4}_{2}\alpha. Whereas a neutron is represented by a symbol ^{1}_{0}n, that is, it has zero protons and only 1 neutron.

Therefore, reaction equation when an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron is as follows.

        ^{27}_{13}Al + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{30}_{15}P + ^{1}_{0}n
