Maybe. no one knows. They have been like they are for thousands of years. But maybe in the future they could for whatever reason.
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 elliptical orbits. These orbits are elongated and follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which describe the shape and dynamics of the planetary orbits.
Kepler showed that the orbits of the planets are elliptical, with the Sun at one of the focal points. This discovery led to his laws of planetary motion, which describe how planets move in their orbits.

i do not this answer that's why i am asking you this answer.
If the planets did not move in their fixed orbits they may dash each other.
All the planets move with an elliptical orbit, but with a very low eccentricity.
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!
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.)
Elliptical
Yes, planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational force between the sun and the planet. This motion is governed by Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
Planetary orbits are usually in the shape of an ellipse.
