    Kepler's second law of planetary motion says that the imaginary line

    from the Sun to the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal periods

    of time.

    It's just as true of comets, asteroids, dwarfs, coasting space probes ...

    anything in the solar system that's coasting in gravity, and not firing engines.

    That's why a comet moves so fast when it gets near the Sun.
