Are all orbits the same shape????
What else can I help you with?
Is the orbit of each planet a ellipse?
Yes, according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the orbit of each planet around the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci. This means that the planet's distance from the Sun varies throughout its orbit.
Is the orbits of the planets lie in nearly the same plane and they all revolve around the sun in the same direction a fact or inference?
Inference.
Why do all orbits with the same semi-major axis have the same period?
As simple as Newton's equation of gravity looks, if you massage it long enough with enough calculus and geometry, all of Kepler's laws fall out of it. Those mathematical results include the facts that the planets have to travel in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one focus, and that the number equal to (square of the orbital period) divided by (cube of the semi-major axis) has to be the same number for every object that orbits the sun.
Are all planetary rings at the planet's equator Do any have polar orbits?
No, all the moons and rings rotate in the same plane as the planet itself.
Are the planetary orbits the same as the figure we have drawn?
yes it is 99.99% the same as we have estimated the orbits of the planets using newton's and Kepler's law and they cant be wrong
What planet orbits the other way then earth?
All the planets in the solar system orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise.
Are all the orbits centered in the same place?
no, because Pluto the dwarf planet is out of order so it would be no.I think... >.>
In light of modern solar system theory why do the orbits of the planets all lie in nearly the same plane?
The orbits of the planets lie in nearly the same plane because they formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust around the young Sun, known as the solar nebula. As gravity caused material in the disk to clump together, it formed into the planets we see today, all orbiting in a flat plane due to the conservation of angular momentum.
are mars and venus orbits the same size?
No. No two planets have the same size orbit. Mars orbits the sun at more than twice the distance that Venus does.
What is a geosynchronous orbit?
In a geosynchronous orbit, a satellite orbits Earth at the same rate as Earth rotates and thus stays over the same place on Earth all the time.
What are the planets orbits on 2012?
Exactly the same as they are now.
How is earth the same as the planets?
it orbits an object in space.
