The correct statement according to Kepler’s second law of motion is:

**It is constant for equal times.**

This law states that a line segment joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times, meaning that the area swept out is constant over equal time intervals, regardless of the planet's speed or distance from the sun at different points in its orbit.
