The correct statement that describes a planet as it moves along its orbit is:
It travels fastest and experiences a stronger gravitational pull when it is closest to the sun.
This is consistent with Kepler's laws of planetary motion, specifically Kepler's second law, which states that a planet moves faster in its orbit when it is closer to the sun (perihelion) and slower when it is farther away (aphelion). The gravitational pull is also stronger when the planet is closer to the sun.
