What else can I help you with?
Which planet has the perfect circular orbit?
No planet has a perfectly circular orbit, though Venus has the least orbital eccentricity of any planet in our solar system.
What is the shape of the path of a planet around the sun called?
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
Which planet has least perfectly circular orbit?
Mercury.
What the meaning of the ORBIT?
an orbit is the circular movement of a planet going round the sun, or a moon going round a planet. Gravitaional force is what creates the orbit.
Which planet's orbit is most like a circle?
Venus has the most circular orbit among the eight planets in our solar system. Its eccentricity, which measures how elongated an orbit is, is the closest to zero, making it almost circular.
Which 2 planets do not have a circular orbit?
No planet's orbit is perfectly circular. They are all elipses.
What planet is most circular orbit of any of the planets?
Probably Venus, who's orbit varies only imperceptibly from a perfect circle. Venus's orbit is elliptical, but not so the average layman would notice (to astronomers, of course, it is quite different).
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.
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 does the Earth have an elliptical orbit around the sun?
I'll assume you mean: "... as opposed to a circular orbit". That is caused by the fact that for a circular orbit, a planet needs a VERY PRECISE SPEED. Change the speed slightly (at a particular point in the orbit), and the orbit immediately becomes elliptical.
All celestial bodies that move in a circular orbit move around something bigger planet xyz moves in a circular obit therefore planet xyz must be moving around something bigger?
Not all celestial bodies move in circular orbits around larger objects. Planets can also orbit around stars or even on their own. So, it is not a requirement for a planet in a circular orbit to be moving around something bigger.
What is a closed orbit?
With an open orbit, the object never returns. Examples would be a satellite in an unstable (open) orbit crashing down on Earth or a passing comet on a hyperbolic orbit which will leave our solar system (ejection loss). Closed orbits are the stable, planet-like orbits where objects return in a predictable manner.
