The square of the ratio of the periods equals the cube of the ratio of radii.

Explanation:

German astronomer Johannes Kepler who lived from 1571-1630, gave the three descriptive laws called Kepler's law. He derived this law after he had study and make observations of planetary motion done by Tycho Brahe.

The Kepler's third laws state that the square ratios of the period equals the cube ratio of the distance or radii.
