Planets rotate around the sun. The path is not really circular for planets, it is actually ellipsoidal.

Why do gyres flow in giant circular patterns instead of straight lines?

its because currents form gyres and the wind is so much that it found a circular patterns


What is the shape of magnetic lines force in case of a straight current carrying conductor?

The shape of the magnetic field lines around a straight current-carrying conductor is circular, with the conductor at the center of each circular loop. These magnetic field lines form concentric circles around the conductor, perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.


Why magnetic lines are always travel in straight line?

The magnetic lines are always circular & emerging from north & entering in the south pole of magnet outside it. they are never straight.


Do helium atoms travel in circular paths?

Helium atoms do not travel in circular paths. Instead, they move in straight lines until they collide with other particles or the walls of their container. The motion of helium atoms is governed by principles of kinetic theory.


Is Finn wolf hard gay?

He has a circular personality, circles have no straight lines so thus he is not straight. And because he is a raging bender


Do satilites travel in straight lines?

Satellites do not travel in straight lines; instead, they follow curved paths known as orbits due to the gravitational pull of the Earth or other celestial bodies. Their motion is governed by the principles of orbital mechanics, which means they move in elliptical or circular trajectories rather than straight lines. This allows them to maintain a stable position relative to the Earth as they balance gravitational forces with their inertia.


Why do planets orbit around the sun?

Since the Sun has the most mass of all the objects in the solar system, it has the strongest gravitational pull. If there were another object in the solar system with more mass than the Sun, the planets (and the Sun itself) would orbit it. If there were no Sun's gravity (or other gravitational forces) the planets would travel in straight lines instead of orbits.


Does the sun hold the planets in orbit with its gravity?

Yes. Without the sun's gravity the planets would move out into interstellar space in straight lines.


Why does the planets orbit the sun?

Because the Sun has a great gravitational pull on the planets. Without the Sun the planets would travel in straight lines (ignoring other gravitational forces in the Universe.)


Why do planets continue to orbit around the sun?

The force of gravity keeps the planets in their orbits, and without it they would all go off in straight lines into interstellar space.


How can you connect 12 dots with 5 lines?

It all depends on the arrangement of the dots. Besides, there is nothing about straight lines, so used curved lines instead


Why doesnt a cylinder have any vertices?

Because it hasn't any straight lines that meet each other at an angle and it's circular in shape
