The orbit of the sun through our galaxy is thought by many scientists to be almost circular. Since the sun takes about 225 million years to complete one orbit, little proven data is available to support most hypotheses regarding the orbit of the sun.

Is the sun an orbit?

No, the sun is an object. A fairly ordinary star. An orbit is the closed circular path taken by an object around another object. The suns orbit is the path it takes around the galactic centre. A journey of some 250 million years to complete one orbit. In comparison the earths orbit around the sun takes one year.


What keeps planets in elliptical orbits?

Planets are kept in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational force acting between the planet and the sun. This force causes the planet to move in a curved path, resulting in an elliptical orbit. The balance between the planet's inertia and the gravitational force determines the shape of the orbit.


What type of force provided by the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit?

the gravititonal pull does; it is what keeps all the planet in the suns orbit xx

Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?

No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.


Does the suns gravity keep the planets in orbit around it?

Yeah


Suns gravity keeps what in an oval shaped orbit?

The sun does not "keep" the planets in an ellipse orbit but only that it is so because the odds of a celestial body having a perfectly circular orbit are very small. But yes all the planets do have ellipticall orbits of varying eccintricities. There are laws that govern planetary orbits devised by Johannes Kepler. For more info look up Johannes Kelper's Laws of Plantery Orbits.
