| The distance from the Earth to the asteroid varies from 1.4 to 3.4 AU. e. Determine its sidereal and synodic periods of revolution (provided that the direction of the orbital motion of the asteroid coincides with the Earth’s, and its orbit is circular).
The sidereal period is 1360 days. (3.72 g.); synodic period of 500 days. (1.37 g.)
