Respuesta :
An imaginary line joining a planet and the sun sweeps out an equal area of space in equal amounts of time. Thus, the speed of the planet increases as it nears the sun and decreases as it recedes from the sun.
Answer: It states that a line joining a planet and the sun sweeps an equal area in equal time, moving along its orbit.
Explanation: It tells us about the speed of a planet revolving around the sun in an elliptical orbit. The speed of the planet varies inversely to the distance, when the planet is closer speed is high and speed is low when it recedes from the sun. The rate at which area is being swept out is constant ,that is 'equal area in equal time'.
