How do you approximate the orbital period of a planet 3 AU from the sun?

You can plot the "days to orbit sun" vs "average distance" for all known planets on a graph and see the relationship using a trend line. A planet at around 3 AU (450 million km) can then be seen to orbit the sun in around 1850 days or 5 years (assuming its our sun and not another star as the mass size influences the orbit). To get a more mathematical prediction, you could use Keplars laws of planetary motion.

The square of the orbital period of a planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the planet's orbital radius?
Yes, spot on, good guess . .

Which planet orbits the sun every 165 days?
Mercury is the planet that orbits the sun every 165 days. It is the closest planet to the sun in our solar system and has the shortest orbital period.

Is one year it takes a planet to orbit the sun?
A year (or orbital period) is defined as the period it takes a planet to orbit the Sun.
Which planet orbit around the sun first?
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and has an orbital period of 88 Earth days. (Pluto in contrast has an orbital period of about 248 Earth years.)
When a planet completes one trip around the sun?
That is that planet's "year", or its orbital period.

At what distance from the Sun would a planet's orbital period be 3 million years?
Which two of the planet are closely related to their distance from the sun?
Temperature and orbital period.
