Which planet in the solar system has an orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?
pluto
What happens to the shape of planet's orbit as its eccentricity increases?
The orbit becomes more eccentric until the orbit becomes almost a strait line.
Which Planet has the most eccentric orbit?
Mercury's orbit has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets. It used to be Pluto, but Pluto is now a dwarf planet. Also if you were wondering Mars has the 2nd highest eccentricity.
What planet was farthest away from the Sun?
Within our Solar System, Pluto was until it was dubbed a dwarf planet. The current farthest planet is Neptune. Since Pluto has an orbit so eccentric that it is sometimes inside the orbit of Neptune, the identity of the "outermost planet" was previously time-dependent.
Which planet has the perfect circular orbit?
No planet has a perfectly circular orbit, though Venus has the least orbital eccentricity of any planet in our solar system.
Which planet in the solar system has an orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?
pluto
Orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?
Pluto
What is the comparison between Mercury's and Venus' orbits?
Mercury's orbit is moderately eccentric, at 0.2056, while Venus's orbit is the least eccentric of any planet in the solar system, at 0.0067. Mercury's inclination is at 7º, while Venus's is at 3.39º.
How can you use eccentric in a sentence?
The eccentric old man washed his hands with pea soup. Pluto's orbit is much more eccentric than the orbit of any major planet.
What are the unique features of Mercury?
Mercury isthe innermost planet,it is the smallest planet,it has the most eccentric orbit ,its own axis is the least inclined to the plane of its orbit (around 0.01 degrees).
What happens to the shape of planet's orbit as its eccentricity increases?
The orbit becomes more eccentric until the orbit becomes almost a strait line.
When you say that a planet has a highly eccentric orbit you means that?
in some parts of its orbit it is much closer to the Sun than in other parts.
When you say that a planet has a highly eccentric orbit you mean that?
It deviates from a perfect circle by a considerable amount.
Which Planet has the most eccentric orbit?
Mercury's orbit has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets. It used to be Pluto, but Pluto is now a dwarf planet. Also if you were wondering Mars has the 2nd highest eccentricity.
What planet's orbit is so eccentric that at perihelion it is closer to the sun than Neptune?
Pluto - though its no longer classed as a planet, more a dwarf planet. For 20 years of its 246 year orbit, it is actually closer to the sun than Neptune

Which planet has least perfectly circular orbit?
