What is the shape of the path of a planet around the sun called?
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
Will the greatest difference in seasons occur on a planet that has a circular orbit?
The greatest difference in seasons will occur on a planet that has a circular orbit. This is because winds are created this way.
Kepler discovered that the orbit of each planet is an what rather than a perfect circle?
Kepler discovered that the orbit of each planet is an ellipse rather than a perfect circle. The planet with an orbit that is closest to a circle is Venus.
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).
What planet orbit around the sun is most nearly circular?
Mercury

Which planet has least perfectly circular orbit?
Mercury.
Is Mars' orbit a perfect circle?
No planet's orbit is a perfect circle. They are all ellipses.
Which 2 planets do not have a circular orbit?
No planet's orbit is perfectly circular. They are all elipses.
What the meaning of the ORBIT?
an orbit is the circular movement of a planet going round the sun, or a moon going round a planet. Gravitaional force is what creates the orbit.

Which planet has a perfect elliptical orbit?
earth

What is a closed orbit?
With an open orbit, the object never returns. Examples would be a satellite in an unstable (open) orbit crashing down on Earth or a passing comet on a hyperbolic orbit which will leave our solar system (ejection loss). Closed orbits are the stable, planet-like orbits where objects return in a predictable manner.
A planet or moon does when they move in a circular pathway around something else?
An orbit.
What planet orbit around the sun is most nearly circular?
Mercury
