Question

The image shows how Earth orbits the Sun. Points W and X are the same distance from the Sun.

Which conclusion is best supported by the image?

Answer 2

This figure shows the Second Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion, The line that joins the planet with the Sun sweeps equal areas in equal times.

According to this statement, the only way in which this is fulfilled is that the planet moves faster when it is near the sun (perihelion) and moves slower when it is far from the Sun (aphelion).

In the image shown, if points W and X are at the same distance to the Sun, this means the instantaneous velocity of the planet in both points is the same.
