Determine the radius a semi-major axis of its orbit


Calculate the mass of the Sun noting that the period of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is 3.156 107 s and its distance from the Sun is 1.496 1011 m. If we find an unknown comet returning to the Sun every 50 years (for example, we know that Comet Halley returns every 75.6 years), determine the radius a (semi-major axis) of its orbit.
