T or F: Newton’s modification of Kepler’s Third Law let us measure the mass of the Sun
True
True.
Newton’s modification of Kepler’s Third Law, combined with observations of the orbit of a planet around the Sun, allowed for the calculation of the mass of the Sun. The modified version of Kepler’s Third Law relates the orbital period and the distance of a planet from the Sun to the mass of the Sun, making it possible to determine the mass of the Sun based on the orbital characteristics of planets in our solar system.
