Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. The path in which the planets revolve around the sun is called the orbit.
  2. The time taken by the planets to revolve around the sun is called the period of revolution.
  3. Kepler's Law states that the planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus.
  4. The size of the elliptical shape increases as it goes outward from the sun.
  5. Closer to the Sun, the period of revolution will be shorter.
  6. Farther from the sun, the higher the period of revolution will be.
  7. This means all the planets do not take the same time to revolve around the sun.

So the given statement is false.
