B) Universal gravitation implies that the planets will sweep out equal areas in equal times(Kepler's second law) .
C) Universal gravitation implies that the planets further from the Sun will move more slowlythan the planets closer to the Sun (Kepler's third law) .
D) Universal gravitation implies that when a planet is closer to the Sun in its orbit, it will movefaster than when it is farther from the Sun (Kepler's second law) .
