Kepler's Area Law

Kepler's Area Law states that a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal amounts of time as it orbits the Sun. This means that when a planet is closer to the Sun, it moves faster, covering a larger area in a given period. Conversely, when farther away, it moves slower, sweeping a smaller area. The law highlights how a planet's orbital speed varies depending on its distance from the Sun, ensuring the area swept over equal time intervals remains consistent throughout its orbit.
