it is an oval and was discovered by Galileo and newton
The shape is an "ellipse".
ellipses.
Johannes Kepler. Inspired Sir Isaac newton's discoveries.
Kepler discovered that the planets orbit the Sun in elliptical shapes. This means that their orbits are not perfect circles, but instead are stretched out ovals with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse.
Johannes Kepler discovered that the orbits of planets around the Sun are elliptical in shape. Kepler's work on planetary motion led to his three laws of planetary motion, which revolutionized our understanding of the solar system.
Are all orbits the same shape????
Johannes Kepler showed that IF the planetary orbits are elliptical,THEN that would explain the measurements that Tycho Brahe collectedduring his whole life.Isaac Newton showed that IF gravity works the way he thought it does,THEN the planetary orbits would have to be elliptical.Both of these are only theories. They have never been proven.
Most orbits are ellipses.
An elliptical shape.
Kepler discovered the orbits of the solar system are elliptical.
Johannes Kepler.
The moon orbits the earth almost a complete circle.
