Kepler's second law, also known as the law of equal areas, states that a line that connects a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. This means that a planet moves faster when it is closer to the Sun and slower when it is farther away. In other words, planets travel in elliptical orbits around the Sun, with the Sun located at one of the focal points of the ellipse.
Kepler's second law states that a planet moves faster when it is closer to the sun and slower when it is farther away from the sun. This law is also known as the law of equal areas. It means that the line joining a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. In other words, a planet covers an equal amount of area in its orbit during equal intervals of time. This implies that a planet experiences different speeds at different points in its orbit, with its maximum speed occurring at the closest point to the sun (perihelion) and its minimum speed occurring at the farthest point from the sun (aphelion).
