2 answers:
Gravitational force between sun and planet is given by,
Thus, The force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the distance.
Kepler's law states that the square of period of planet is proportional to cube of semi major axis of its orbit.
The time period of planet is more when the gravitational force is less.
Thus, planet Y is closer to earth because sun exert greater gravitational force than planet Z.

Answer in explanation
Explanation:
The path of flow of circuit is called electric circuit. In an electric circuit, resistances are connected in two different ways, which are:
1- Series Combination of Resistances
2- Parallel Combination of Resistances
<u>Series combination of resistances </u>
In series combination resistors are connected end to end, and there is only one path for the flow of current.
Characteristics Of Series Circuit:
1. In series circuit there is only one path for the flow of current.
2. Same amount of current flows through each resistor.
I = I₁ = I₂ = I₃ = In
3. Total voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of voltages across each resistor.
V = V₁ +V₂ + V₃ + ... + Vn
4. In series combination the combined resistance of the resistors can be obtained by adding the value of each resistor.
R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + … + Rn
<u>Parallel combination of resistances </u>
Resistances are set to be connected in parallel, when each of them is connected directly from the terminals of electric source.
Characteristics Of Series Circuit:
1. There are more than one path for the flow of current.
2. The value of potential difference remains constant on each resistor.
V = V₁ = V₂ = V₃ = Vn
3. Total current is equal to the sum of current passing through each resistor.
I = I₁ + I₂ + I₃ +...+ In
4. Reciprocal of equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of reciprocals of resistances connected in parallel.
1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + … + 1/Rn
