Explanation :  

The angular velocity of the planet in the elliptical orbit will vary. Its shows that the planet  travel slower when farther from the sun, then faster when closer to the sun.

1. Yes, Earth experiences the strongest gravitational force when it is closest to the Sun.

2. Yes,  Earth moves the greatest distance in thirty days when it is closest to the Sun.

3. Yes,  Earth travels with the slowest tangential speed when it is farthest from the Sun.

4. Yes,  Earth sweeps out the same area in the same time frame anywhere in its orbit

Kepler's second law : Kepler describe the motion of the planets around the sun. the line joining the planet and the sun sweeps out  the same area in the same time.

The characteristics of Earth’s orbit  that that agree and follow the pattern of Kepler’s second law are;

Earth experiences the strongest gravitational force when it is closest to the Sun.

Earth moves the greatest distance in thirty days when it is closest to the Sun.

Earth travels with the slowest tangential speed when it is farthest from the Sun.

Earth sweeps out the same area in the same time frame anywhere in its orbit

  • Kepler's second law of planetary motion can be regarded as one that describe the speed of a planet which moves in an elliptical orbit around the Sun.

  • It states that there is equal areas as well as equal times between the sun and the planet sweeps, which implies that planet experience increase in speed as it get nearer the Sun.

  • This helps in explaining how Earth travels with the slowest tangential speed onces its moving away from the Sun.

Therefore, Earth usually have strongest gravitational force as it moves close to the sun.
