Saturn takes approximately 27 years to complete its orbit. The Earth's mean distance from the Sun represents one unit of distance. This can be illustrated with the example ofĮarth's orbit of the Sun) represents one unit of time. Period of time to cover them, yet the distance it travels along its orbit varies. The shaded areas in the diagram are equal and the planet takes the same
Vector will be the same over a given period of time. Matter where the planet is in its orbit, however, the area of the ellipse covered by the radius The radius vector is shortest when the planet is at perihelion and longest at aphelion. The line joining the Sun and a planet (the radius vector) varies in length at different Properties are governed by two 'foci', or focal points, equidistant from its centre.
