Q. A planet of mass $m$ is revolving round the sun (of mass $\left.M_{s}\right)$ in an elliptical orbit. If $\vec{v}$ is the velocity of the planet when its position vector from the sun is $\vec{ r }$, if the planet rotates in counter clockwise direction, then areal velocity has a direction :

Gravitation

Solution:

Areal velocity is considered as an angular vector of which direction is given in the plane normal to the plane of revolution/rotation and given by right hand thumb rule.
