-
then, in the second week, the area swept out is that.
-
So, it's the area intercepted by the two radial vectors
-
and the arc along which you move.
-
And Kepler said the rate at which the area is swept out --
-
let dA/dt be a shorthand for
-
how much area is covered in a certain time --
-
so you take area swept out, divide by Δt,
-
and he said that's a constant.
-
And the third result is that, let me see,
-
the square of the time it takes a planet to go around the Sun,
-
divided by the cube of the orbit size,
-
is the same for all planets.
