Kepler's Second Law: A Planet's Orbit Sweeps out Equal Areas in Equal Times

In this video, I derive Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion and show that the line joining the Sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times. In other words, the rate of change of the area of the orbit being swept is constant in time.
