    Within the system of the same star, the period of a planet's orbit is

    proportional to the 3/2 power of its distance from the central body.

    (Kepler's empirical third law of planetary motion, promoted to being

    etched in stone by Newton's gravitation.)

    (4) ^ 3/2 = 8 timesas long.
