8. Based on the diagram above and completing steps 5,6, and 7 the two pairs that are the same are areas B and C. 9. I agree with Student B, based on Kepler. Area and distance are not the same. When measuring you must consider how much you have shaded not just the size of the areas that are given, when shading you can represent the equal area by the line that connects the planet to the sun in equal time. Student B based his pick of area A and C off the looks alone and not following Kepler. Being that areas B and C have almost the same amount of shading is why I choose this as a pair. 10. The time it takes to the planet to cover each area is the same. Based on Kepler's 2nd law. Because they have the same amount of shading presents that would indicate the time to cover each is about the same. 11. Traveling distance between B and C differs. Based off of the 2nd law the planets move faster when they are closer to the sun and slower the further away, they are. B will cover a greater distance than
