Which shape is most like the shape of planets orbit?
in a oval shape not really a circle ANSWER:OVAL
An oval like shape that is used to describe the orbit of planets?
An elliptical orbit is a flattened circle or oval-like shape followed by a planet as it travels around the sun. It is a common shape observed in celestial bodies' paths due to the gravitational pull between them.
Why do the planets orbit the sun What is the shape of those orbits?
Planets orbit the sun because gravity keeps them from escaping, and momentum keeps them moving forward. The orbits are elliptical, which is like an oval.
What do tiny planets orbit?
Like larger planets, dwarf planets also orbit the sun.
Does Jupiter have an unusual orbit around the sun?
No.No.No.No.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
What shape describes the paths that planets follow?
The planets orbit the sun in an ellipse, like a squashed circle. The amount by which the ellipse is deformed by, from being a circle, is referred to as the eccentricity. An object with a highly eccentric orbit, such as a comet, will have a very elongated and stretched out orbit, its distance from the sun throughout its orbit will vary by a lot.
What is the shape of Mar's orbit?
An ellipse, like all the planets. Just like every other object in orbit around a much larger central mass, Mars travelsin an orbit whose shape is an ellipse.But the orbit's eccentricity is only 0.094, which means it's so close to being a circlethat you can't tell the difference by looking.
What does a orbit look like?
Meteoroids follow the normal rules for orbits: Kepler's laws of planetary motion, just like the planets. Thus the basic shape is an ellipse.
Is stars planets?
No. Stars are like suns, around which planets may orbit.
Do asteroides orbit the same directions as the planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
