It is constant for equal times. It increases as the planet approaches the sun. It increases as the planet approaches the sun. It is constant if the planet moves at a constant speed. It is constant if the planet moves at a constant speed. It increases as the planet moves away from the sun.

Answer 1

According to Kepler's second law of motion, the correct statement is: **"It is constant for equal times."** This law states that the line connecting a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time, which means the area swept out is constant regardless of the planet's position in its orbit.
