Question

During the revolution of a planet around the Sun, the line joining the planet and the Sun sweeps equal areas in equal intervals of time. This law is called:

• A. Kepler’s first law of planetary orbits
• B. Kepler’s second law of orbital areas
• C. Kepler’s third law of orbital periods
• D. Galileo's principle of relativity

Answer 1

The correct option is B Kepler’s second law of orbital areas

During the revolution of a planet around the Sun, the line joining the planet and the Sun sweeps equal areas in equal intervals of time. This is called Kepler's second law of orbital areas.
