Where do most of the known asteroids have elliptical orbits?
LooneyTunerIan
Yes, just like all celestial body with a closed orbit.
If you want to be specific, the orbit of the moon is spiral, since it is moving away from us at a pace of 3 cm per year.

Where do asteroids live at?
Most asteroids are located within the asteroid belt which is between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids are also known as planetoids or minor planets.
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.
Where are most asteroids in our solar system found in space?
Asteroids are found all over the solar system. The vast majority is located in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What are astroiodes?
Most of the asteroids are in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What are the names of the asteroids that cross Earth's orbit and Jupiter's orbit?
Main Belt asteroids -- a band of asteroids located in the "missing planet" gap between Mars and Jupiter. None of these are economically attractive in a near term program because they are too far from Earth.Amor asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits approach but do not cross Earth orbit, and whose orbits are further from the Sun than Earth's orbit (i.e., "outside-t" Earth orbit). Many have orbits which reside entirely between Earth and Mars. Some of these are economically attractive in the near term.Apollo asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Apollo asteroids spend most of their time outside Earth orbit. Many of these are economically attractive in the near term.Aten asteroids -- asteroids whose orbits cross Earth's orbit. Unlike Apollos, Atens spend most of their time inside Earth orbit. A large percentage of known Atens are economically attractive in the near term.

How do the orbits of comets differ from the orbits of most asteroids?
Comets are balls of ice and dust in orbit around the Sun. The orbits of comets are different from those of planets - they are elliptical. A comet's orbit takes it very close to the Sun and then far away again.
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.
What region of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where most of these irregularly shaped objects orbit is known as the what?
I think that its asteroids
Most asteroids exist between the orbits of?
Mars and Jupiter
Are most asteroids are distributed between Earth and Mars?
No. Most asteroids are in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What path does the orbit take?
Most planetary orbits are elliptical.
Which have the most elliptical and tilted orbits?
Oort cloud comets
How are moon and asteroids alike and different?
Both asteroids and moons can be rocky. An asteroid orbits the Sun while a moon orbits a planet. Mars has two moons (Deimos and Phobos) that are most likely former asteroids.
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.
What is the location of a asteroid?
Most asteroids are between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What is the location of asteroid's?
Most asteroids are between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
