Explanation:

Kepler's second law (law of equal - areas) states that a line segment joining a planet (or in this case, a comet) and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. Comets have highly elliptical orbits. They move faster when they are close to the Sun (in the part of the orbit close to the Sun) and slower when they are far from the Sun. So, they spend much more time in the part of their orbit far from the Sun and much less time in the part of their orbit close to the Sun.

Answer:

TRUE
