Kepler's law of equal areas in equal times predicts that
A)Planets move fastest at perihelion
B)Comets are often in unbound orbits
C)The sun must be at the center of the solar system
D)Planets all must lie in the same orbital plane
E)Planets are in noncircular orbits

Kepler's law of equal areas in equal times states that a planet will sweep out equal areas in its orbit in equal times. This means that a planet will move faster when it is closer to the sun (at perihelion) and slower when it is farther away (at aphelion).
