This law states that a planet's elliptical orbit around the Sun sweeps equal amounts of area in an equal amount of time. This means that each planet travels faster near the Sun and slower farther from it.

Yes.  Uh huh.  That's a fact, true and certain.
It's Kepler's second law of planetary motion.  

Answer:

Kepler's second law of planetary motion

Explanation:

Kepler was student of astronomer Tycho Brahe. Upon, Brahe's death, Kepler used his observational data for writing three laws of planetary motion. According to first law, the Sun is at the center of the solar system and all the planets revolve about the sun in elliptical paths. According to second law, the line joining the Sun and the planet sweeps equal areas in equal intervals of time. It also implies that planet closer to the Sun travels faster than the planet away from it. According to the third law, the square of the orbital period is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis.
