From Kepler's second law a line joining any planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times, that is, the areal speed of the planet remains constant.

Question Image

dA =  area of curved triangle SAB
      = 12(AB×SA)

      = 12(rdθ × r) = 12r2

The instantaneous areal speed of the planet is
dAdt = 12r2dt = 12r2ω

where ω is an angular speed. Let J be angular momentum of planet about sun
J =  = mr2ω

dAdt = J2m

From Kepler's law areal speed is constant, therefore angular momentum J is constant.
Hence, Kepler's second law is equivalent to conservation of angular momentum.
