What else can I help you with?
Is a asteroid's orbit elliptical?
Yes. They orbit the Sun and as per Kepler's first law they follow an elliptical path. Do note that a circular orbit is a special type of elliptical orbit.
How do you determine which of two orbits is most elliptical?
You can determine which of two orbits is most elliptical by comparing the eccentricities of the orbits. The orbit with the higher eccentricity is more elliptical. Eccentricity measures how stretched out an orbit is, with a value of 0 indicating a perfectly circular orbit and a value closer to 1 indicating a highly elliptical orbit.
Is the earths orbit around the sun highly elliptical or almost circular?
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
Is mars orbit elliptical or circular?
A circle is an ellipse, so it's elliptical either way.However, the orbit of Mars is not a perfect circle.
What is the name for a non circular orbit?
An elliptical orbit is a non-circular orbit where the orbiting object follows an elongated path around another object.
The shape of the earth's orbit is a?
The shape of the Earth's orbit is elliptical, meaning it is slightly oval-shaped. This elliptical orbit causes the distance between the Earth and the Sun to vary slightly throughout the year, which is why we experience seasons.
Does the moon revolve around earth in a circular orbit?
No, the moon's orbit is elliptical with an eccentricity of about 0.55
What is the shape of the earthes orbets?
The shape of the earth's orbit is elliptical, not circular.
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.
Are the orbit of planets circular How may their path be best described?
The orbits of planets are actually elliptical, not perfectly circular. An ellipse is a stretched-out circle. The shape of a planet's orbit can be described as an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.
Why are asteroids safe in circular orbits but insafe in elleptical ones?
Asteroids are safer in a circular orbit than an elliptical orbit because being in an elliptical orbit causes them to tumble in an erratic manner. Larger asteroids are sometimes referred to as planetoids.
Will the greatest difference in seasons occur on a planet that has a circular orbit?
No, the greatest difference in seasons occurs on a planet with a more elliptical orbit, where the distance from the sun varies significantly. This leads to more extreme temperature changes and more pronounced seasons.
