What stated the planets moved in elliptical orbits around the sun?
This is Kepler's First Law.
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.
Who discovered the elliptical path of the planets?
17th century astronomer Johannes Kepler discovered the elliptical shape of the planets' orbits around the Sun, which he described in his first law of planetary motion. Newton later explained this in his law of universal gravitation.
Who first put forth the theory of how the planets revolved around the Earth?
One of the scientists who developed the therory of elliptical orbits for the planets around the Sun was Johannes Kepler.
Do all the objects in the solar system travel around the sun in elliptical orbits?
no. example: Pluto sometimes crosses orbits of other planets and asteroids that arent in the asteroid belt dont. *NEW EDIT* YES. The solar system consists of all objects orbiting around the sun. All of them move in elliptical (or ovalish) shaped orbits. This is a basic fact of astronomy. The first answer is totally ridiculous.
Who was the first European scientist to suggest that orbits of the planets were elliptical?
It was Johannes Kepler.
What stated the planets moved in elliptical orbits around the sun?
This is Kepler's First Law.
Why planets are revolving in elliptical orbits?
Kepler's first law of planetary motion published in 1618 says that the planets travel in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus. Newton's law of gravity and other work he did explains how the Sun's gravity produces ellpitical orbits.

Who was the first to propose elliptical orbits of the planets?
Johannes Kepler
Who thought that the planets revolved areound the sun in elliptical orbits?
Johannes Kepler was the first to recognize that configuration,based on his analysis of Tycho Brahe's observational data.
Who proposed that orbits of the planet are elliptical and the sun is at one focus?
Johannes Kepler in 1619 first realized that planetary orbits were elliptical rather than circular.
What is the motion of planets around the sun?
According to Keplers first law of 1618 which has not been repealed yet, the planets each move in an elliptical orbit with the Sun occupying one focus. The shape of an ellipse is described by the eccentricity. For low eccentricity such as the planets' orbits have, the orbit is very close to being a circle but the most significant difference is that the Sun is off-centre.
Did Johannes Kepler invent the radio?
No. Johannes Kepler lived centuries before the invention of Radio. Kepler was the first to recognize that the orbits of the planets were elliptical rather than circular.
