The period of revolution of planet $A$ around the sun is $8$ times that of $B$. The distance of $A$ from the sun is how many times greater than that of $B$ from the sun?

Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution $(T)$ of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance $(r)$ between the sun and the planet,i.e.,$T^2 = Kr^3$,where $K$ is a constant. If the masses of the sun and the planet are $M$ and $m$ respectively,then according to Newton's law of gravitation,the force of attraction between them is $F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$,where $G$ is the gravitational constant. The relation between $G$ and $K$ is:
