To match the planets with their corresponding orbital periods according to Kepler's 3rd Law, we have:

Column A

  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:

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