Parts A through C all refer to the orbit of a single comet around the Sun. Each of the four diagrams below represents the orbit of the same comet, but each one shows the comet passing through a different segment of its orbit around the Sun. During each segment, a line drawn from the Sun to the comet sweeps out a triangular-shaped, shaded area. Assume that all the shaded regions have exactly the same area. Rank the segments of the comet’s orbit from left to right based on the length of time it takes the comet to move from Point 1 to Point 2, from longest to shortest. If you think that two (or more) of the diagrams should be ranked as equal, drag one on top of the other(s) to show this equality. Sun Sun Sun Sun Longest Shortest Solution Kepler\'s second law tells us that when an object moves around its orbit, it sweeps out equal areas in equal times. Now, as it is stated in the question that all the areas swept out by comet shown here are equal, It means the time, it takes the comet to travel each segment must also be the same Therefore, time is same for all the four situations shown. .
