Question

what is true about the area between points a, b and the sun, and the area between points h, i and the sun? both areas are equal in size there is not enough information to determine the areas the area between a, b and the sun is the largest. the area between h, i and the sun is the largest

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Kepler's second law

Kepler's second law states that a line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.

Step2: Analyze the given areas

Since the time intervals (the number of segments between the points) are the same for both the area between \(A\), \(B\) and the Sun and the area between \(H\), \(I\) and the Sun. According to Kepler's second law, the areas swept out in equal time intervals are equal.

Answer:

Both areas are equal in size
