Hi , Please can you give me some ideas of how to do this problem:
Two planets are orbiting a star in a distant galaxy . The first has a semimajor axis of 150e6 km, an eccentrictity of e=.20 and a period of 1.0 Earth year.
What is the period of the second which has a semimajor axis of 25066km, an eccentricity of e2=.30
I get lost when I work on gravitation problem.
Thank you for your time.
