Match the following statements about Kepler's third law with their correct interpretation:
Third law involves comparison of motion traits between planets. = Third law describes motion characteristics of a single planet. The T²/R³ ratio is constant for every planet. = The T²/R³ ratio varies between planets. All planets have the same value for T²/R³ ratio. = Different planets have varying T²/R³ values. Kepler's third law accurately describes planetary motion around the sun. = Kepler's third law is inaccurate in describing planetary movement.
