Kepler's 2nd law, which states that a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times, remains valid even in the context of General Relativity. While General Relativity modifies the understanding of gravity and orbits, it does not negate the conservation of angular momentum that underlies Kepler's laws. In fact, General Relativity predicts similar orbital behaviors, including precession effects, without contradicting the basic principles of Kepler's laws. Thus, Kepler's 2nd law is still applicable, although it may require adjustments in precise calculations near massive bodies.
