An oval like shape that is used to describe the orbit of planets?
Mars, and all the other planets, have oval-shaped, or eliptical, orbits.
How are the planets held in orbit?
Most people don't think this but planets are actually held in orbit by gravity. With out gravity the planets will fall down.
Where are most dwarf planets from?
Most of the dwarf planets are large Kuiper belt objects, bodies that are in a distant orbit around our sun, beyond Neptune's orbit.
Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?
The planet with the most elliptical orbit is Mercury. Second is Mars.
Do comets orbit around the sun just like planets?
Yes, they do. But their orbits are highly eccentric. That means that their orbit first takes them very close to the Sun and then very far away, making the orbit very elongated. Also, all the planets orbit the Sun in more-or-less the same plane. ie, All the orbits are in line (Picture a disc). The orbit of most comets, on the other hand, are not in the same plane. Check the images in the related links for a better idea on their orbits.
What geometry shape is the most like a planets orbit?
An ellipse.
An oval like shape that is used to describe the orbit of planets?
Mars, and all the other planets, have oval-shaped, or eliptical, orbits.
What shape does an orbit take?
It varies from planet to planet. But most planets including our own, orbit the star in an elliptical motion.
Name of the orbit around the sun?
The SHAPE of the orbit the Earth and most planets and other bodies of mass in space are usually elliptical.
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
How are moons and planets alike?
Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
How are the planets held in orbit?
Most people don't think this but planets are actually held in orbit by gravity. With out gravity the planets will fall down.
Do all planets has moon?
No, they don't. But most of our planets that orbit the sun do.
Where are most dwarf planets from?
Most of the dwarf planets are large Kuiper belt objects, bodies that are in a distant orbit around our sun, beyond Neptune's orbit.
What is the evidence for the black hole has the most density?
Stars and planets orbit around the most dense masses, that's why we orbit the sun. Our main source of evidence is that planets are orbiting and sometimes disappearing into what looks like nothing, but it is a black hole.
Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?
The planet with the most elliptical orbit is Mercury. Second is Mars.
Do most planets orbit in an elliptical patern?
Yes.
