Answer:

Correct Answer: 6. 6.94×1022

Solution:

  1. Areal velocity of a planet round the sun is constant and is given by

dAdt=L2m

where, L= angular momentum of planet (earth) about sun and m= mass of planet (earth).

Given,

Lm=4.4×1015m2/s

Area enclosed by earth in time T ( 365 days ) will be

 Area =dAdtT=L2mT=12×4.4×1015×365×24×3600m2

 Area 6.94×1022m2
