The orbits of planets are elliptical, a phenomenon described by Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion, which states that each planet's orbit has the Sun at one of its foci. This elliptical shape causes variations in distance from the Sun, which in turn affects the planets' orbital velocities. According to Kepler's Second Law, or the law of areas, planets move more rapidly when they are closer to the Sun, resulting in higher speeds at perihelion, and slow down when they are farther away at aphelion. Therefore, the gravitational pull from the Sun influences the speed of the planets, causing them to travel faster when they are nearer and slower when they are farther from the Sun.

Planetary orbits take on an elliptical shape, as noted in Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion, which indicates that the Sun occupies one of the foci of these ellipses. This distinctive geometry leads to variations in distance between the planet and the Sun throughout the orbit, which subsequently influences the planet's speed. According to Kepler's Second Law, known as the law of areas, a planet accelerates and moves faster when it is in proximity to the Sun at perihelion, while it decelerates and travels more slowly when at aphelion. Thus, the combined effects of distance and gravitational force dictate a planet's changing orbital velocity over the course of its elliptical path.

The paths of planets around the Sun are not circular but elliptical, a concept that Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion clarifies by stating that the Sun is located at one focus of each planet's orbit. This shape results in fluctuating distances between the planets and the Sun, directly impacting their speeds. As per Kepler's Second Law, or the law of areas, a planet speeds up when it is nearer to the Sun (during perihelion) and slows down when it is farther away (during aphelion). Consequently, the gravitational pull of the Sun varies based on this distance, leading to the observed changes in a planet's orbital velocity throughout its journey around the Sun.
