To match the planets with their orbital periods based on Kepler's 3rd Law, we can use the standard orbital periods:

  • Earth: 365 days
  • Neptune: 60,190 days
  • Mercury: 88 days
  • Saturn: 10,759 days

Now, let's match them:

Column A | Column B
--- | ---

  1. Earth: | d. 365 days
  2. Neptune: | a. 60,190 days
  3. Mercury: | b. 88 days
  4. Saturn: | c. 10,759 days

So the matches are:

  1. Earth: d. 365 days
  2. Neptune: a. 60,190 days
  3. Mercury: b. 88 days
  4. Saturn: c. 10,759 days
