Question

Which of the following statements or expressions is most nearly associated with Kepler's Second Law of Planetary Motion?

A. P2 = A3
B. Planetary orbits revolve around two foci.
C. A planet moves fastest when it is farthest from the sun.
D. A planet moves slowest when it is farthest from the sun.

Answer 1

I think it's B but not sure

Answer 2

B. Planetary orbits revolve around two foci

Step-by-step explanation:

• The Kepler's second law of motion focuses on the planets that travel in an elliptical orbit around the sun it forms a pattern in while its speed decreased when it comes closer to the sun and increases as it goes farther away from the sun. Kepler gave this law in 1609 ad 1619.

• The law states that the planets are equal with the sun at one near-linear foci , a line that joins the planet and the sun passe through this area. And a square of the orbital period of the planet is directly proportional of the major orbital axis of the planet.
