An oval like shape that is used to describe the orbit of planets?
Mars, and all the other planets, have oval-shaped, or eliptical, orbits.
How was the discovery of the planets orbits shape made?
It was made when the big bang happen i think?
How is the orbit of asteroids compare to the orbits of planets?
Comets have sharply turning, elliptical, oval-like orbits, as opposed to the rounder, more circular shape of a planet's orbit
Are the orbits of inner planets relatively closely spaced?
some times because we revolve in an elliptical orbit which is like the shape of an oval
What is the shape of a planets orbit and in which direction do all planets revolve?
Planetary orbits are eliptical, that is they are shaped as elipses. All planets revolve around the sun anti-clockwise as viewed from Earth's north pole.

What geometric shape do the orbits of planets resemble?
Planetary orbits are eliptical. Each orbit forms an elipse.
Why do the planets orbit the sun What is the shape of those orbits?
Planets orbit the sun because gravity keeps them from escaping, and momentum keeps them moving forward. The orbits are elliptical, which is like an oval.

What are the paths called that planets orbit on around the sun?
They are orbits and they are elliptical in shape. So the answer could be "orbits" or it could be "ellipses".

Which type of object visible from earth orbits the sun and has cleared the area of its orbit?
The type of object that orbits the sun and has cleared the area of its orbit is called a planet. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit the sun, are spherical in shape, and have cleared their orbit of other debris or objects. There are currently eight known planets in our solar system.
What is is the shape of the orbit a comet has?
The orbits of periodic comets and the orbits of planets have the same geometric shape.Every closed gravitational orbit is an ellipse. But the eccentricity of the cometary ellipsesare almost all greater than the eccentricities of the planetary ones.
Are the orbits of inner planets relatively closely spaced?
some times because we revolve in an elliptical orbit which is like the shape of an oval
What is the shape of the orbits of the planets around the sun?
The planetary orbits of our solar system are considered "elliptical." This includes "circular" orbits, as a circle is a type of ellipse. In astrodynamics, an elliptical orbit and a circular orbit both fit into the description of a Kepler Orbit.
What is the shape of a planets orbit and in which direction do all planets revolve?
Planetary orbits are eliptical, that is they are shaped as elipses. All planets revolve around the sun anti-clockwise as viewed from Earth's north pole.
How was the discovery of this orbits shape made?
by a surprise
