Kepler developed his second law of motion by comparing data of planetary motion at different times along orbits. This observation revealed that planets move faster when they are closer to the Sun and slower when they are farther away, leading to his formulation of the law that describes the area swept out by a planet in its orbit relative to the time taken.
