Kepler’s second law of planetary motion
“A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time” (Meaning that each triangle seen there has equal area.)
The black dot represents a planet, the point where the black lines intersect represent the sun.
The green arrow represents the planet’s velocity,
The purple arrows represents the force on the planet.Know more:http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/circmot/ksl.cfm
