What are the four planets that have orbits from most to least?
All the planets have orbits so four cannot be picked out.
What kind of orbits do most planets have?
ALL closed gravitational orbits are ellipses.
Do The planets maintain circular orbits around the Sun?
The orbit of the planets in our Solar system are not perfectly circular, but eliptical. Each planet also has its own unique orbit, no two planets share an identical orbit. Because of the elliptical (oval) orbit of planets some get close to each other or cross the path of another planet's orbit.
What was tycho brahe major contribution to science?
He was a tireless and perhaps rather obsessive observer, who mapped out and documented the coordinates of many of the stars and planets year after year, which Kepler than used after Brahe's death to discover the fact that the planets in fact go around the sun in eliptical orbits.
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 all lie in nearly the same plane for preservation of angular momentum.
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 is the shape of a planets orbit and in which direction do all planets revolve?
Planetary orbits are eliptical, that is they are shaped as elipses. All planets revolve around the sun anti-clockwise as viewed from Earth's north pole.
Why was Kepler not satisfied with the circle he calculated to fit most of the observed locations of mars?
The orbits of the planets, including Mars, are eliptical, not circular. Keplers observed positions did not fit a circular orbit. The differences led him to discover that the orbits were not circular, but eliptical.
How is Earth's orbit around the sun similar to the orbits of other planets around the sun?
all orbit according to the sun's gravity- if there was none they would all move in a pretty straight line instead of an orbit Answer: All planets follow eliptical orbits around the sun, and all move in the same direction around the sun.
Can anyone explain why planets go in eliptical orbit why dont they get collided?
Because the diameters of the orbits are different. Some are closer to the sun, others are further out.
Why the eliptical gravitational orbits of the planets are STABLE so they don't fall in or run off the sun due to the slight but frequent perturbations caused by the crashing of microasteroids?
These small pertubations are what keep the choas of there stable orbits. It's all planned out, the universe I think has found a way.
Are Copernicus' views accepted today?
Not by the scientific community, but his extensive data was used by Keppler to figure out that planets had eliptical orbits. this led to kepplers laws of planetary motion.
Is the orbit of each planet a ellipse?
All the planets have elliptical orbits but Uranus and Neptune have slightly different orbits than other planets on solar system.
Who proved you had eliptical orbits and not sircular ones?
Johannes Kepler.
What are the four planets that have orbits from most to least?
All the planets have orbits so four cannot be picked out.
Do all planets have to be circle?
No, because all planets known have elliptical orbits.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
