According to Kepler’s second law of planetary motion, what is the relationship between distance from the sun and revolution?
The farther from the sun, the faster the revolution speed
The farther from the sun, the slower the revolution speed
The farther from the sun the longer the revolution time
The farther from the sun the shorter the revolution time
Which statement best describes Aphelion and Perihelion occurring to Kepler’s 2nd Law of Planetary Motion?
Aphelion is a location in the orbital path where orbital speed is the fastest; Perihelion is a location in the orbital path where the orbital speed is the slowest.
Aphelion is a location in the orbital path where orbital speed is the slowest; Perihelion is a location in the orbital path where the orbital speed is the fastest.
Aphelion is a location in the orbital path when the Earth is experiencing Winter; Perihelion is a location in the orbital path when the Earth is experiencing Summer.
Aphelion and Perihelion are locations in an elliptical orbital path.

Which statement is true according to Newton’s law of universal gravitation?
When the masses of objects increase, gravitational force decreases.
When distance between objects increases, gravitational force decreases.
When distance between objects decreases, gravitational force decreases.
When the masses of objects decrease, the distance between objects decreases.
What would instantly happen if the Sun stopped exerting a force on Earth?
Earth’s axis would no longer be tilted.
Earth’s north and south poles would be reversed.
Earth’s path would become unpredictable.
Earth would leave its orbit and travel in a straight line.
According to Kepler's laws, how do planets move in the solar system?
Planets move at a constant speed in circular orbits around the Sun.
Planets move faster when closer to the sun and in elliptical orbits around the Sun.
