    We may use the mathematical expression of Kepler's law here, which is:

    T² = 4π²a³/GM

    Where T is in earth years, a is astronomical units and M is solar masses. Moreover,

    4π²/GM = 1, so:

    T² = a³

    T = √ (a³)

    T = √ (30³)

    T = 164.3

    Neptune's time period of orbit is 164.3 earth years.
