Question

7 multiple choice 1 point which statement correctly describes the mathematical variables of earths revolution around the sun. earth sweeps out larger areas when closer to the sun because the speed of earths orbit increases. earth sweeps out equal areas in equal time by moving slower when closer to the sun and faster when farther from the sun. earth sweeps out equal areas in equal time by moving faster when closer to the sun and slower when farther from the sun. earth sweeps out smaller areas when farther away from the sun because the speed of earths orbit decreases. clear my selection

Explanation:

This is based on Kepler's second - law of planetary motion, also known as the law of equal areas. It states that a line segment joining a planet (Earth in this case) and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. Earth moves faster when closer to the Sun (perihelion) and slower when farther from the Sun (aphelion) to maintain this equal - area sweep.

Answer:

Earth sweeps out equal areas in equal time by moving faster when closer to the sun and slower when farther from the sun.
