Which does Kepler’s second law state about planetary motion

1 answer

Kepler's second law, also known as the law of equal areas, states that an imaginary line connecting a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal periods of time. In other words, a planet moves faster when it is closer to the sun and slower when it is farther away. This law implies that the orbit of a planet is not a perfect circle but an ellipse, with the sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse.
