An oval like shape that is used to describe the orbit of planets?
Mars, and all the other planets, have oval-shaped, or eliptical, orbits.
What tool did Sir Issac Newton use to the map the orbits of planets and satellites?
Isaac Newton used a refracting telescope and calculus, which he invented to map the orbits.
Who made the solar system model?
It wasn't a scientist but two clock makers, George Graham and Thomas Tompion who made the first Orrery circa 1704. It was updated as more planets were discovered.
What was the the model solar system that was thought to be correct before Copernicus?
It was Ptolemy's model. Ptolemy's model came from ancient times while Copernicus's was much later (1543).Both models represented the planets' orbits by using combinations of circles and epicycles to explain the way the planets move among the stars.Copernicus found that the orbits of the inner planets could be explained more simply. That is to say that the epicycles used for all the orbits were smaller, and for the inner planets a lot smaller.Both models represented the planets' positions with reasonable accuracy given the crude observational methods used in those days.Until gravity and the laws of dynamics were discovered about 150 years after the publication of Copernicus's system, there was no way of deciding which model was the 'right' one.
Is Pluto A Outer Planet Or Inner Planet?
The terms "outer planet" and "inner planet" are only used for planets. Pluto is not a planet, and it orbits beyond the outer planets.
Why do scientist believe there used to be another planet in between Mars and Jupiter?
This was because the orbits of those planets suggested there was something pulling in the direction of the belt. When astronomers looked there, they did not find a planet, but instead a collection of asteroids. It was these that were pulling on the planets.

Mars, and all the other planets, have oval-shaped, or eliptical, orbits.
What tool did Sir Isaac Newton use to map the orbits or plantes and satellites?
He used the reflecting telescope and calculus to map the orbits of planets and satellites.
Who correctly viewed the planets as orbiting the sun but incorrectly used circles to describe the orbits?
Copernicus

Who used light to figure out atoms have distinct orbits?
Patrica Anex She's a really good scientist.
How planets does the solar system have?
There are eight planets; Mercury; Venus; Earth ( of course!); Mars; Jupiter; Saturn; Uranus; and Neptune. There used to be nine planets but scientist believe that Pluto is a Dwarf Planet.
What do scientist think mitochondria used to be?
a nigggerteen
Which scientist made highly accurate measurements that disproved the theories of ptolemy and Copernicus?
Tycho Brahe designed new equipment to measure planets' positions with unprecedented accuracy. Tycho's observations of the planets' orbits led to his alternative model which still had the Earth at the centre with the Sun orbiting it, but with the five other known planets orbiting the Sun. But Tycho's measurements were used by his assistant Kepler to produce an entirely new theory in 1609 with the planets in elliptical orbits, all orbiting the Sun as in Copernicus's model of 1543. Kepler's theory is still used today. It's important to remember that the theories of Ptolemy and Copernicus are not 'wrong', it would be better to say they are not as accurate as Kepler's theory. As models, all three of them predict the planets' positions fairly accurately.

How is chemistry physics and astronomy related?
Astronomy uses both physics and chemistry. An example of physics is the study of gravity and the planets' orbits round the Sun. Chemistry is used to study what stars are made of or what the planets' atmospheres consist of.
