Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The orbital period is directly related to the average distance between the planet and the Sun. This law implies that planetary orbital velocity decreases with increasing distance from the Sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a planet is further away from the sun the Sun’s gravitational pull is weaker, so the planet moves slower in its orbit.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Apogee of your orbit which is the highest part of the orbit will increase in altitude too, and as you keep increasing the velocity, the apogee of your orbit will take place of the raising part P’ of your orbit.
