They all do. Some planets are closer to a circular orbit than others (have a lower eccentricity), but none are exactly circular.

Which planets move in an elliptical orbit?

All the planets move with an elliptical orbit, but with a very low eccentricity.


What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?

Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.


Who did discover planets move in elliptical orbits?

Johannes Kepler


Which scientist stated that planets move around the Sun in an ellipse?

Johannes Kepler was the first to state that planets move in elliptical orbits.


What two factors cause planets to move in elliptical orbits?

The gravitational pull exerted by the Sun, which acts as the central force keeping planets in orbit, causes them to move along elliptical paths. The conservation of angular momentum ensures that planets travel in elliptical orbits, with their speed varying at different points along the orbit to maintain this balance.


Johnnas Kelpler discovered that the orbits in which planets move around the sun are?

Elliptical


Planets move around the sun in orbits?

Yes, planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational force between the sun and the planet. This motion is governed by Kepler's laws of planetary motion.


In what type of orbits do planets move around the sun?

Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits. These orbits are elongated and follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which describe the shape and dynamics of the planetary orbits.


Does earth move in a circle or a ellipse?

All planets actually follow an elliptical orbit.


The observation that planets move in elliptical orbits was first made by?

Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century. He developed his three laws of planetary motion, with the first law stating that planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus.


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.


Why are orbits of planets oval?

Orbits of planets are oval, or elliptical, because one point in the orbit where Earth is closest to the Sun, and another is farthest from the Sun. Therefore making it oval. Hope that makes sense.
