According to Kepler's second law, the radius vector to a planet from the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time. This law is a consequence of the conservation of ______________.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Angular momentum
`(dA)/(dt)=L/(2m)`= constant, because angular momentum of planet (L) about the centre of the Sun is constant. Thus, this law comes from law of conservation angular momentum.
