A comet moves on an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Where is the comets velocity largest?

A comet's velocity is largest when it is closest to the Sun, a point known as perihelion. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the comet accelerates as it approaches the Sun due to the gravitational pull, resulting in its highest speed at this closest point in its orbit. As it moves away from the Sun towards aphelion, its velocity decreases.
