Question

Which statement is supported by Kepler's laws?

O The closer a planet is to the Sun, the faster it moves.
O The farther a planet is from the Sun, the faster it moves.
O As a planet moves away from the Sun, its gravitational force increases.
O As a planet moves away from the Sun, its gravitational force remains the same.

Answer 1

a

i am never wrong

Answer 2

A. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the faster it moves.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this law, planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits. An imaginary lines drawn from the center of Sun to center of planets will sweep equal area in equal time interval.

Answer option B,C&D is incorrect because planets that are far away from the Sun take more time to move all around the Sun and experience less gravitational force and move slower than those near the Sun.
