Question

A planet is revolving around the sun in an elliptical
orbit. Its closest disatance from the sun is r1 the
farthest distance from the sun is r2. If the orbital
angular velocity of the planet when it is the nearest to
the sun is w, then the orbital angular velocity at the
point when it is at the farthest distance from the sun is:​

Answer 1

Answer:

A planet's orbital speed changes, depending on how far it is from the Sun. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the stronger the Sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves. The farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun's gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.
