Question 5: Halley's comet has a semimajor axis of about 18.5 AU, a period of 76 years, and an eccentricity of about 0.97 (so Halley's orbit cannot be shown in this simulator.) The orbit of Halley's Comet, the Earth's Orbit, and the Sun are shown in the diagram below (not exactly to scale). Based upon what you know about Kepler's 2nd Law, explain why we can only see the comet for about 6
months every orbit (76 years)?
