Imagine another solar system, with a star less massive than the Sun. Suppose a planet with the same mass as Earth orbits at a distance of 1 AU from the star. How would the planet's year (orbital period) compare to Earth's year?

    Considering that the star is less massive than the sun, the smaller mass of the star would provide a less strong force of gravity at any distance, and consequently a lower orbital speed. Thus, the year of the planet would be longer than that of the Earth.
