What is the path of an object takes around a star or planet?
it is an orbit
What do you call a path a planet follows as it travels around the sun?
U answer
Can two planets share the same orbital path around a star?
Only under once circumstance: a binary planet. In the case of a binary planet, two planets will revolve about their common center of mass and travel around their star together. The configuration is much like that of a planet with a large moon.
The path a planet makes around the sun is called a planet's what?
orbit.
Is there any planet that does not revolve in oval orbit?
A planet revolving around a single star will always have a relatively circular or ovular path. The only time the orbit would be different would be if the planet was being pulled by the gravity of multiple stars.
What do you call the shape of a path of a planet around a star?

U answer
What path of the orbit called?
An orbit is the path of a planet, star, or satellite through space around another object. The path the orbit is simply the orbit.
What is the meaning of the word orbit?
Orbit has the following two meanings:the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a star, planet, or moon. (noun)move in orbit around a star, planet or moon. (verb)
Is the distance between a planet and the sun changing?
It is very improbable that any planet that orbits any star follows a circular path. Most, if not all, planets are in elliptical orbits around their respective stars, where the star is roughly at one of the two centers of the elliptical path. This means that the distance of any planet from its star is changing throughout the planet's year.
Path of planets around the sun is?
path of planet around the sun
Can two planets share the same orbital path around a star?
Only under once circumstance: a binary planet. In the case of a binary planet, two planets will revolve about their common center of mass and travel around their star together. The configuration is much like that of a planet with a large moon.
What is a force that most affects the path of a planet around the Sun?
A force that most affects the path of a planet around the Sun is gravity.
What do you call the path of a planet around the Sun or a satellite around a planet?
This is called "orbit".
Movement of a planet in a path around a star?
The movement of a planet in its path around a star is called its orbit or revolution, the shape of the path being elliptical (or potentially, circular) with the star at the focus of the ellipse. For eccentric orbits the axis of the orbit itself will also rotate (precess) slowly, consistent with posits of general relativity. Note that planetary motion is slightly affected (perturbed) by gravity from other sources like other planets in its system which introduces irregularities.
What is the path of the planets?
Its Orbit.Johannes Kepler (Germany), who lived between the time of Copernicus (Poland) and Isaac Newton (England), correctly postulated that all of the sun's planets indeed revolve about the sun in orbits which have the shape of an ellipse, with the sun at one focus of the ellipse. Isaac Newton, in his Principiae Mathematica, further stated, essentially, that any planet orbiting any star, or any moon orbiting any planet, would follow an elliptical path.
