What else can I help you with?
Who was the Astronomer who realized that planets were traveling in elliptical orbit was?
it was Kepler
Astronomer who discovered that planets orbit in an ellipserather than a perfect circle?
Kepler
What do you know about the solar system?
that all the planets orbit around the sun, and that orbit's are not circular.
What is the shape of neptue's orbit?
As with all the planets, the orbit of Neptune is a nearly circular ellipse.
Which 2 planets do not have a circular orbit?
No planet's orbit is perfectly circular. They are all elipses.
Do planets orbit the sun in a circular direction?
No. Planets orbit the Sun (or some other star) in ellipses.
Are the orbit of planets circular How may their path be best described?
The orbits of planets are actually elliptical, not perfectly circular. An ellipse is a stretched-out circle. The shape of a planet's orbit can be described as an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.
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.
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.
What early astronomer discovered why planets stay in orbit?
Nicolaus Copernicus discovered why planets stay in orbit when he found that the planets revolve around the sun. He is credited with starting the Scientific Revolution through this discovery.
Which astronomer was first credited as the first to theorize the planets orbit around the sun?
Aristarchus of Samos
Which astronomer discovered that the planets orbit the sun in oval shaped paths called ellipses?
Kepler discovered that the planets orbit the sun in oval shaped paths called ellipses.
