Aplanet sweeps out a short and wide triangle during what part of its orbit? o when the planet is halfway between its closest and furthest position from the sun. o when the planet is closest to the sun. owhen the planet is furthest from the sun,

A planet is sweeps out a short and wide triangle when the planet is very close to the sun  .

Explanation:

Kepler's Law -

According to Kepler's second law , a line connecting the planet and the Sun , sweeps out equal amount of area during the equal interval of time .

Hence ,

The speed of the plant is maximum at the perihelion position and is minimum at the aphelion position .

Hence,

The orbital speed of the planet as it approaches perihelion makes a very short but a wide triangle where as , the slow movement of the planet as it approaches the aphelion makes a very narrow triangle.
