Description: The figure below shows several positions of a comet traveling in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Four different segments of its orbit (A-D), and the corresponding triangular shaped area swept out by the comet, have been shaded in gray. Assume that each of the shaded triangular segments have the same area. --7-- C SUN B A. Ranking Instruction: Rank the time it took (from greatest to least) for the comet to move along each of the segments (A- D) of the orbit. Ranking Order: Greatest 1 3. 4. Least Or, the time to travel each segment would be the same. (indicate with check mark). Carefully explain your reasoning for ranking this way:
