What is the shape of a planets orbit and in which direction do all planets revolve?
Planetary orbits are eliptical, that is they are shaped as elipses. All planets revolve around the sun anti-clockwise as viewed from Earth's north pole.
Why was Kepler not satisfied with the circle he calculated to fit most of the observed locations of mars?
The orbits of the planets, including Mars, are eliptical, not circular. Keplers observed positions did not fit a circular orbit. The differences led him to discover that the orbits were not circular, but eliptical.
How does Pluto orbit?
the way of Pluto orbiting the sun is different when compared to others.....the other planets revolve in eliptical plane closer to sun....but Pluto orbits in a much more inclined orbit and the orbit formed is a very narrow and long eclipse....that's why the Pluto remains closer to sun for a very short time.....

Where is an electron in a atom?

What is the speed of a satellite that moves in an eliptical orbit around the earth?
If a satellite is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, the Earth will be at one of the focii. The speed of the satellite will then constantly be changing. It will move the fastest when it is nearest to the Earth (perigee) and slowest when it is furthest away (apogee).
What is the name for your solar systems galactic orbit?

Why was the moon the largest in history a couple of days ago Why not today or tomorrow?
because the moon is in an eliptical orbit and the distance from earth changes as it moves through its orbit. Right now it is as close to the earth as it has been in the last 18 years. The day before yesterday was when it's orbit started to move away from earth again.
What is Earth's orbital path?
