Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution (T) of a planet around the sun, is proportional to the third power of the average distance r between the sun and planet i.e. T2=Kr3, here K is constant. If the masses of the sun and planet are M and m respectively, then as per Newton's law of gravitation, the force of attraction between them is F=GMm/r2, here G is gravitational constant. The relation between G and K is described as

(1) GK=4π

(2) GMK=4π2
 

(3) K=G
 

(4) K=l/G
