(b)

Explanation:

According to Kepler's third law, Jupiter orbits the Sun at a faster speed than Saturn.

This law was published in 1619.

Kepler's laws refer to the three scientific laws that describe the motion of planets around the Sun.

He made a major break from ancient beliefs when he abandoned circular orbits in favor of elliptical orbits.
