What else can I help you with?
Who discovered the shape or the planetary orbit?
Johannes Kepler
What is the shape of a planetary path?
Planets orbit in an ellipse.
The shape of the planetary orbit around the sun is?
Elliptical with the Sun at one focus.
What is the planetary orbit around the sun?
The planetary orbit around the sun is the path which planets follow.This path is elliptical in shape and the Sun lies at one of the focal points of the ellipse.
What is the orbit of a planet?
An ellipse. (Kepler's first law of planetary motion) Since the plants do not orbit in a perfect circle. They orbit in a oval shape.
What is the shape of the orbitof planets?
The ellipse is, with the sun at one focus of each planetary orbit.
What geometric shape do the orbits of planets resemble?
Planetary orbits are eliptical. Each orbit forms an elipse.
What name is given to the shape of the earth's orbit?
The shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is called an "ellipse." This elliptical shape means that the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies throughout the year. The concept of an elliptical orbit is described by Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion.
Are all planetary orbits ellipses?
Yes, according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, all planetary orbits are elliptical in shape. This means that planets do not orbit the sun in a perfect circle, but instead follow an elliptical path with the sun at one of the foci of the ellipse.
Does mars orbit the sun in a circle shape?
No. A circle is an unstable shape for an object orbiting another. An orbit is between slightly and very elliptical (egg-shaped). If an object is placed in a circular orbit, the orbit will quickly deteriorate to an elliptical orbit. Added: Mar's elliptical eccentricity is rather above average for a planetary orbit. Not quite as large as Mercury, but large enough.
According to the three laws of planetary motion planetary orbits are in the shape of an?
According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planetary orbits are in the shape of an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci.
Planets orbit the sun in?
elliptical paths due to the gravitational pull of the sun. The shape of these orbits is described by Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
