Question

where is the planet moving faster? position h to i, position a to b, position i to j, position b to c

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

According to Kepler's second - law (the law of equal areas), a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it moves. By observing the positions in relation to the sun (the central point), we can infer the speed. Position A to B is closest to the central point (presumably the sun), so the planet is moving faster in this segment.

Answer:

B. Position A to B
