What is the direction of areal velocity of the earth around the sun ?
What is the direction of areal velocity of the earth around the sun ?
Areal velocity,
$\frac{d \mathrm{~A}}{d t}=\frac{\mathrm{L}}{2 m}=\frac{r \times m v}{2 m}=\frac{1}{2}(r \times v)$
Where $\mathrm{L}$ is the angular momentum and $m$ is the mass of the earth.
Hence, the direction of areal velocity $\left(\frac{d \mathrm{~A}}{d t}\right)$ is in the direction of $(r \times v)$.
