Although all planets have elliptical orbits, Venus has the least eccentric orbit (eccentricity of 0.00677323, where 0 would be circular)

What planet orbit around the sun is most nearly circular?

Venus has the most nearly circular orbit around the sun. Its eccentricity, which measures how much an orbit deviates from a perfect circle, is the lowest among all the planets in our solar system.


Which planet has the roundest orbit?

Venus has the most nearly circular orbit of all the planets in our solar system. Its orbit has the least eccentricity, meaning it is closest to being a perfect circle.


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).


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.


What aspects of the planets orbits are nearly the same for most planets?

1. Planets in the orbits all conform to Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, 2. The orbits are all nearly in the same plane,3. The orbits are all elliptical, but not very ellptical and near-circular in shape, with the Sun slightly off-centre.Added:p2 = a3P. The planetary orbital period in earth years.a. Distance from sun in astronomical units, based on 1 AU for earth. ( for example, Mars would be about 1.5 AU and you would use this value in the equation, not the actual distance )

Is neptunes orbit unusaul in any way?

No, it is a normal orbit with an average radius of 30.06 astronomical units. Apart from Venus Neptune has the most nearly circular orbit, and those two planets are the only ones with an eccentricity factor less than 0.01.

What is Venus' path?

Venus' orbital path is the most circular of all the planets. The eccentricity of the orbit of Venus is less than 0.01.


What 2 planets have the most cicular orbits?

Venus has an eccentricity of 0.00677323 Neptune has an eccentricity of 0.00858587 Triton, a moon of Neptune, orbit is as close to a perfect circle with an eccentricity of 0.000016 The Earth for comparison has an eccentricity of 0.01671022


How are moons and planets alike?

Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.


Are planets orbits orbits fairly circular?

Planets follow elliptical orbits, it would be extremely unlikely for any natural orbit to be perfectly circular. Though the orbits of some of our solar system's planets, shrunk down to fit on a standard book page, would appear to be nearly circular.


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.
