What aspects of the planets orbits are nearly the same for most planets?

1. Planets in the orbits all conform to Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, 2. The orbits are all nearly in the same plane,
3. The orbits are all elliptical, but not very ellptical and near-circular in shape, with the Sun slightly off-centre.
Added:
p2 = a3
P. The planetary orbital period in earth years.
a. Distance from sun in astronomical units, based on 1 AU for earth. ( for example, Mars would be about 1.5 AU and you would use this value in the equation, not the actual distance )

What are the four planets that have orbits from most to least?
All the planets have orbits so four cannot be picked out.
What kind of orbits do most planets have?
ALL closed gravitational orbits are ellipses.
Most of the angular momentum of the solar system is found in the?
orbits of the planets.
What has elliptical orbits?
As an elliptical orbit is any orbit that isn't perfectly circular, everything has an elliptical orbit. The planets Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits of the planets, and are easily seen to be oval shaped. Comets also have highly elliptical orbits.
What is a small rocky body that orbits the sun?
That could be one of the "terrestrial" planets, but most likely the required answer is "asteroid".
What are the planets with the most circular orbits?
Venus has the least eccentric (most nearly circular) orbit of the eight in our solar system.
What are the four planets that have orbits from most to least?
All the planets have orbits so four cannot be picked out.
What kind of orbits do most planets have?
ALL closed gravitational orbits are ellipses.
What shapes are the orbits of many comets?
Most cross orbits of planets which allows it to hit the planets easier. They do not go into a full orbit at all.
What 2 planets have the most circular orbits?
venus and pluto
What shape are most planets orbits around the sun?
Ovals
What 2 planets have most circular orbits?
venus and pluto
Do the orbits of most planets have eccentricity close to zero?
Yes
What shape are most planets' orbits around the sun in specific the earth?
ALL planetary orbits are ellipses.
Even though orbits are ellipes what shape is a typical planet's orbits most like?
Planetry orbits are elliptical. Most planet's orbits are nearly circular apart from Mercury and Pluto.
What two planets has the most circular orbits?
Pluto and Abby University
Most of the angular momentum of the solar system is found in the?
orbits of the planets.
