Suppose two comets, comet a and comet b, were orbiting the sun, having the same average orbital radii. If comet a had a higher eccentricity than comet b, which comet would, during some portion of its orbit, have the highest orbital speed?.

Every planet's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse, according to Kepler's First Law. The planetary ellipse's central point is always exactly where the Sun is. The Sun is centered. The planetary system is an ellipse, thus as it revolves around its axis, the distance from the Sun changes continuously.

According to Kepler's First Law, the sun is also one of the elliptic foci of planetary bodies' orbits. In addition, according to Kepler's Second Law, as the site goes along its orbital, it covers equal regions in similar amounts of time. Eventually, Kepler's Third Law states that the ratio of the cubes of two planetary nebulae' semi-major longitudinal axis to their rectangular shape periods is equal to that ratio.

By these laws, comet A will have a lower orbital speed.

The missing options are given below.

A. Comet A

B. Comet B

C. Both would be the same

D. Impossible to tell
