Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the angular velocity of the Earth around the Sun increases when it comes closer to the Sun, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Earth's Orbit**: The Earth orbits the Sun in an elliptical path, with the Sun at one of the foci of the ellipse. The distance between the Earth and the Sun varies as the Earth moves along this orbit. 2. **Angular Momentum Definition**: ...
