? ? ? An orbit.
They follow orbital paths which, like those of the inner planets, are centered on the sun, but the outer planets, without exception, are farther from the sun than any of the inner planets is.
The planets would no longer follow their orbital paths around the Sun. They would move away from the Sun and travel in straight lines.
In one word 'YES'. The paths that you describe are the planets orbits. These orbits are shaped like 'Ellipsoids'., that is an ellipse that doesn't quite close-up , but overloops with every circuit. The Sun lies not at the centre of the ellipsoid, but at one of the foci. As a consequence planets following their orbits paths speed up (Nearest the Sun) and slow down (Furthest from the Sun).
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Gravity is the force which directs the path of the planets.
eliptical
no. inertia and gravity hold them in their paths.
maybe because hey have an axis.
false
eliptical
Kepler discovered that the planets orbit the sun in oval shaped paths called ellipses.
follow the paths
