Explore Kepler's 2nd Law of planetary motion through a hands-on Python simulation and physics-based analysis in this 18-minute educational video. Dive into the concept that planets sweep out equal areas in equal time intervals during their orbits. Learn to model orbital motion using Python, calculate sector areas, and compare areas for different time periods. Gain practical coding experience while deepening your understanding of celestial mechanics. Access the provided Python code to experiment with the simulation yourself and expand your knowledge by watching the companion video on Kepler's 1st Law.
