Kepler's third law states that square of period of revolution $(T)$ of a planet around the sun, is proportional to third power of average distance $r$ between sun and planet i.e.

$\therefore \;{T^2} = k{r^3}$

here $K$ is constant.

If the masses of sun and planet are $M$ and $m$ respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitation force of attraction between them is $F = \frac{{GMm}}{{{r^2}}}$ , here $G$ gravitational constant . The relation between $G$ and $K$ is described as
