Planets orbit in an ellipse.
The planetary orbit around the sun is the path which planets follow.This path is elliptical in shape and the Sun lies at one of the focal points of the ellipse.
Johannes Kepler discovered that the path that planets follow around the sun is an elliptical shape. This is known as Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion.
According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planetary orbits are in the shape of an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci.
The shape of the path that follows around a star is called an orbit. In the case of planets orbiting a star, these orbits are typically elliptical, as described by Kepler's laws of planetary motion. The gravitational pull of the star keeps the orbiting body in its path, maintaining a balance between gravitational attraction and the body's inertia.
Most planetary orbits are elliptical.

Planetary orbits are usually in the shape of an ellipse.
Earth's path of revolution around the sun is called an orbit.
The shape of the path of a planet or asteroid around the Sun is called an orbit. Most orbits are elliptical in shape, as described by Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion. This means that the distance between the celestial body and the Sun varies throughout the orbit. The specific characteristics of an orbit are determined by gravitational forces and the initial velocity of the object.
Yes, according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, all planetary orbits are elliptical in shape. This means that planets do not orbit the sun in a perfect circle, but instead follow an elliptical path with the sun at one of the foci of the ellipse.
