What does the orbit of a planet look like?
The orbit of a planet is commonly an ellipse.
Why does the space shuttle's orbit apparently follow a wave pattern?
I think you mean, :why does the orbit of satellites, etc. look like a sine wave? Well, every orbit around the earth looks like a circular (or elliptical ring) whose center (or focus) is at the center of the earth. An orbit exactly above the equator is one such orbit, but any orbit can be tilted as long as the center (or focus) stays at the earth's center and the whole orbit is flat like a disk. On various maps this makes the orbit look like a wave, but on a globe it stays a flat circle (or ellipse).
Why are the electrons held in orbit?
Because they are the outer electrons in an atom and they orbit around the nucleus. But you should ask a scientist this question. NOT put it on ask.com. OR look it up on google.com. it is very likely that you will find something there.
Why is the ISS not in a circular orbit?
It just looks like that, when the orbit is placed in a flat map. Like take a globe and flatten it, everything will be different from what it originally was. Here's a link to read about that. https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/why-do-satellites-orbits-look-like-a-sinusoidal-wave-on-the-world-map.html
