a sphere
The shape of the orbit of each planet is an ellipse. An ellipse is a geometric shape that is like a flattened circle. The Sun is located at one of the foci of the ellipse, not at the center.
Elliptical
This orbit is called an ellipse. An oval shape.
These are known as elliptical orbits. The shape they produce is an ellipsis.
The shape of a planet's orbit is elliptical.
False. The term is elliptical. Eclipse is what happens when planets and moons pass in front of one another or the sun.
Both are true there is an interdependance.
Planet Arg.
The mutual gravitational forces that attract a planet and the sun to each other are responsible for keeping the planet in orbit around the sun.
A circle but Pluto (which is not considered a planet currently) makes an oval shape.
The elliptical shape of each planetary orbit is the result of the adding together the forces of gravity, which tries to move each planet toward the sun, and inertia, which is trying to keep each planet moving in a straight line.
I makes the planet spheical in shape.
