The areal velocity of the earth moving around the sun is dtdA​=2mL​ Where L is the angular momentum and m is the mass of the earth but L=rˉ×pˉ​=rˉ×mvˉ Hence , dtdA​=2m1​(rˉ×mvˉ)=21​rˉ×vˉ here , the direction of the areal velocity is perpendicular to plane of rˉ and vˉ in accordance to the right hand grip rule of maxwell.
