When looking at what a phrase means, break apart the phrase.

Swept means cleaned, or it can mean an act that was 'sweeping', like wind blowing dust (which can create debris rather than 'cleaning')

Area is a defined space, of any size or shape.

In the phrase "swept area", we do not need to know the size or shape of the area. The phrasing implies either a known area, or an unknown expansive area.

Example:

The manager inspected the swept area in the shop for thoroughness. (The employees and manager know the size of the area.)

The windswept area became littered with leaves and paper trash.

Is the area swept out per unit time by Earth moving around the sun equal to the area swept out per unit time by Mars moving around the sun?

No, the area swept out per unit time by Earth moving around the Sun is not equal to the area swept out per unit time by Mars moving around the Sun. This is because each planet has a unique orbital period and distance from the Sun, resulting in different rates of angular motion.

How does increasing the eccentricity of the orbit affect the area swept?

Increasing the eccentricity of the orbit increases the area swept by the object in a given time period. This is because the object moves faster at perihelion (closest to the star) and slower at aphelion (farthest from the star) due to the elliptical shape of the orbit. This results in a larger area covered in the same amount of time compared to a circular orbit.
