Discuss the implications of Kepler's Second Law on the motion of planets in the solar system.
Kepler's Second Law states that planets move at a constant speed around the Sun.
Kepler's Second Law suggests that planets move in a straight line in the solar system.
Kepler's Second Law indicates that planets move faster when farther away from the Sun.
Kepler's Second Law implies that planets move faster when closer to the Sun and slower when farther away, resulting in elliptical orbits.
