What shape does an orbit take?

It varies from planet to planet. But most planets including our own, orbit the star in an elliptical motion.


The path the planet takes around the sun?

The path the planets take around the sun, is called a orbit.


How many steps did the eight planets take to finished around the orbit?

Planets do not take steps. Each planet has its own orbit and is is different.


What is the name of the path that the planets take?

ORBIT


What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?

Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.


Why do the outer planets take longer to orbit?

they are farther away


Do all planets take the same time to orbit the sun?

"No"


What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?

The outer planets take longer.


Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.


Why do some planets take a long time to orbit around the sun?

Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.


Why does it take the pouter planets so long to orbit the sun?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.


Why does it take so long for the outer planets to orbit?

The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun due to their greater distance from it. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the time it takes for a planet to complete an orbit increases with the radius of that orbit. As a result, the gravitational pull from the Sun weakens with distance, leading to slower orbital speeds for these distant planets. Consequently, planets like Neptune and Uranus take many Earth years to complete a single orbit.
