The orbit of a planet moving around the Sun
- What is the conclusion about the orbit of a planet?
- What is the relation between velocity of planet and distance from sun?
- Explain the relation between areas ASB, CSD and ESF.

उत्तर
- The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci.
- The closer a planet is to the Sun, the greater will be its velocity.
- Area ASB, CSD and ESF are equal when the planet covers distance AB, CD, EF in the same time.
