maybe because hey have an axis.
oval in shape.
The planets would no longer follow their orbital paths around the Sun. They would move away from the Sun and travel in straight lines.
no. inertia and gravity hold them in their paths.
Johannes Kepler
Kepler discovered that the planets orbit the sun in oval shaped paths called ellipses.
maybe because hey have an axis.
The paths are called orbits.
The planets move intheir ellipticalorbits becauseof the gravitation of the Sun combined withthe inertial velocity of the planets(tangentialto their orbital paths). Mathematics shows the resulting orbits must be ellipses. (Some of the ellipses are in factalmost circles.)
oval in shape.
The Solar System is a oval because that how the planets form it .
The planets would no longer follow their orbital paths around the Sun. They would move away from the Sun and travel in straight lines.
? ? ? An orbit.
Orbits of planets are oval, or elliptical, because one point in the orbit where Earth is closest to the Sun, and another is farthest from the Sun. Therefore making it oval. Hope that makes sense.
Gravity is the force which directs the path of the planets.
