An animation of four planets orbiting around the sun is shown below. Based on this animation, which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE?
Show Hint
You can solve this instantly by applying the rule that inner planets always accumulate more orbits than outer planets in any given timeframe. Option A claims \(N_{\text{Blue}} \gt N_{\text{Green}}\), which is impossible since Blue is further out.
When Planet Blue completes 2 orbits, Planet Green will complete 1 orbit.
When Planet Blue completes 3 orbits, Planet Brown will complete 2 orbits.
When Planet Green completes 1 orbit, Planet Red will complete 2 orbits.
When Planet Red completes 4 orbits, Planet Brown will complete 2 orbits.
Show Solution
The Correct Option isB
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Read the orbital periods. Watch how many laps each planet completes in the same time window. Step 2: Form the ratio. Blue completes 3 orbits while Brown completes 2, giving Blue:Brown $=3:2$, which matches one statement. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 2}} \]
