Why are the orbits of the planets slightly elliptical instead of being a circle?
Nothing is perfect.
Is the orbit of each planet a ellipse?
All the planets have elliptical orbits but Uranus and Neptune have slightly different orbits than other planets on solar system.
What would happen if Earth and Venus followed elliptical orbits around the sun?
Earth and Venus DO follow elliptical orbits around the sun (though the orbit of Venus is only very slightly elliptical). Earth's orbit being elliptical is, combined with our axial tilt, why we have seasons.
Are MEO HEO and GEO - elliptical orbits?
All closed orbits are elliptical.
Planetary orbits that are more elliptical have a greater?
Planetary orbits that are elliptical will have a greater focus.

What has elliptical orbits?
As an elliptical orbit is any orbit that isn't perfectly circular, everything has an elliptical orbit. The planets Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits of the planets, and are easily seen to be oval shaped. Comets also have highly elliptical orbits.

Who introduced elliptical orbits?
It was Kepler who discovered that the planets orbits are elliptical.
Are MEO HEO and GEO - elliptical orbits?
All closed orbits are elliptical.
What path does the orbit take?
Most planetary orbits are elliptical.
Which have the most elliptical and tilted orbits?
Oort cloud comets
Planetary orbits that are more elliptical have a greater?
Planetary orbits that are elliptical will have a greater focus.
Are comets in circular or elliptical orbits?
Comets do indeed have orbits. Sometimes the orbits take thousands of years. For the most part, they stay in these orbits unless affected by the gravity of another body.
Even though orbits are ellipes what shape is a typical planet's orbits most like?
Planetry orbits are elliptical. Most planet's orbits are nearly circular apart from Mercury and Pluto.
the orbits of the planet are?
elliptical
