Which planets orbital shape is similar to Jupiter?
All planets in our solar system have elliptical orbits.
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.
What planets orbit is so eccentric?
All the planets in the solar system have very low eccentric orbits.
Why is there only one planet that orbits the sun?
There are 8 planets orbiting the Sun in our solar system.
Why the planets not colliding each other?
The planets in the solar system are in well-spaced out, stable, roughly circular orbits - they don't come close enough to collide with each other. Asteroids and comets, however, are on more elliptical, unstable orbits that often cross the orbits of the planets, and sometimes planets collide with asteroids and comets.
One of the discoveries which led to the modern view of the solar system was that the orbits of the planets are?
Ellipses
One of the discoveries that led to the modern view of the Solar System was that the BLANK of the planets were ellipses?
One of the discoveries that led to the modern view of the Solar System was that the "orbits" of the planets were ellipses.
In light of modern solar system theory why do the orbits of the planets all lie in nearly the same plane?
The orbits of the planets all lie in nearly the same plane for preservation of angular momentum.
What force is responible for the orbits of the planets in the solar system?
Gravity from the Sun holds the planets in their orbits.
How do planets stay on orbit?
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
What planet passes out of the solar system?
None of the planets pass out of our solar system. The orbits of the planets, irregular as they may be IS the solar system.
What work contributed to the modern understanding of the solar system by determining that the planets moved in elliptical orbits?
That was the work of Kepler, resulting in his Laws of Planetary Motion.
What holds the planets in their orbits?
Gravity holds the planets in their orbit
Which planets orbital shape is similar to Jupiter?
All planets in our solar system have elliptical orbits.
How do you know that Venus orbits the Earth and not the sun?
It doesn't. All of the planets in our solar system orbits the sun.
Does all planets have elliptical orbits?
Yes, none of the planets in our solar system have exactly circular orbits, though some are more eccentric than others.
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.
