Assertion $(A)$: Angular speed,linear speed,and kinetic energy change with time,but angular momentum remains constant for a planet orbiting the sun.
Reason $(R)$: Angular momentum is constant as no external torque acts on the planet.

The time period of a satellite of the Earth is $5$ hours. If the separation between the Earth and the satellite is increased to four times the previous value,the new time period will become ......... $hours$.

$A$ star of mass $M$ (equal to the solar mass) with a planet (much smaller than the star) revolves around the star in a circular orbit.
