What two factors cause planets to move in elliptical orbits?
The elliptical orbit of planets is a result of the gravitation of the sun and the tangential velocity of the planet.
Do planets move around the sun circular in orbit?
Generally speaking, yes. It should be noted however that the outer planets have a more elliptic orbit (egg shaped).
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.
Kepler discovered the planets orbit are elliptical not?
circular
What is the orbit of a planet called?
The motion of the planets are elliptical motions

Does earth move in a circle or a ellipse?
All planets actually follow an elliptical orbit.

What is the shape of the orbit that the planets take called?
Elliptical Orbit
What planet moved in an elliptical orbit?
All planets have elliptical orbits.
Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?
The planet with the most elliptical orbit is Mercury. Second is Mars.
in which path did all planets move around in which path did all the planets move around?
Each planet moves in its own elliptical orbit round the Sun, then and now.
The planets orbit the sun in what?
In an elliptical orbit. E.g. not entirely round.
Which planets move in an elliptical pattern?
They all do. Some planets are closer to a circular orbit than others (have a lower eccentricity), but none are exactly circular.
Do most planets orbit in an elliptical patern?
Yes.
Kepler discovered the planets orbit are elliptical not?
circular
