What do you understand by areal velocity of a planet ? State kepler's second law of planetary motion.what does it imply ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Areal velocity of a planet is area traversed/sec by the line joining the centre of planet to the centre of the sun. According to kepler's second law, the aeal velocity of a plant around the sun remains aleways a constsnt. The law implies that orbital velocity of a planet will increase when it is closer to the sun and vice-versa.
