Yes, none of the planets in our solar system have exactly circular orbits, though some are more eccentric than others.

What planet moved in an elliptical orbit?

All planets have elliptical orbits.


Do all planets have to be circle?

No, because all planets known have elliptical orbits.


Do all planets have eliptical orbits?

No, not all planets have elliptical orbits. While most planets in our solar system have nearly circular orbits, some planets, like Mercury and Pluto, have more elliptical orbits. Additionally, exoplanets outside our solar system can have a variety of orbital shapes.


Which planets move in an elliptical orbit?

All the planets move with an elliptical orbit, but with a very low eccentricity.


What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?

Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.


Which planets orbital shape is similar to Jupiter?

All planets in our solar system have elliptical orbits.


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.


What is the path planets travel?

Planets travel in elliptical orbits.


What has elliptical orbits?

As an elliptical orbit is any orbit that isn't perfectly circular, everything has an elliptical orbit. The planets Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits of the planets, and are easily seen to be oval shaped. Comets also have highly elliptical orbits.


Is mars the only elliptical planet?

I don't know what "elliptical planet" is supposed to mean, but by any reasonable definition I can think of, no, all planets are "elliptical planets".


Who discovered the planets that have an elliptical orbits?

Johannes Kepler.


In what type of orbits do planets move around the sun?

Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits. These orbits are elongated and follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which describe the shape and dynamics of the planetary orbits.
