Is it possible for planets to move from their orbits and move close to the sun?

Maybe. no one knows. They have been like they are for thousands of years. But maybe in the future they could for whatever reason.

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.
Planets move around the sun in orbits?
elliptical
Who did discover planets move in elliptical orbits?
Johannes Kepler
What would happen if the planets did not move in their orbits?
i do not this answer that's why i am asking you this answer.
In what type of orbits do planets move around the sun?
elliptical
What would happen if the planets did not move in their fixed path?
If the planets did not move in their fixed orbits they may dash each other.
How does the orbits effect the way planets move?
Orbits help a planet move because of gravitational pull which makes the planet orbit round and round. The planets orbit around the son and the moon orbits around earth. Hope this helps!
Which scientist stated that planets move around the Sun in an ellipse?
Johannes Kepler was the first to state that planets move in elliptical orbits.
The observation that planets move in elliptical orbits was first made by?
copernicous
Terrestrail planets move more rapidly in their orbits than the jovian planets because terrestrail planets are?
closer to the sun
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.
Do planets move in elliptical orbits?
The planets move intheir ellipticalorbits becauseof the gravitation of the Sun combined withthe inertial velocity of the planets(tangentialto their orbital paths). Mathematics shows the resulting orbits must be ellipses. (Some of the ellipses are in factalmost circles.)
