∙ 15y agoby "circle", what do you mean? the rings of saturn? the circular shape of planets itself? (outline)
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoBecause over billions of years, the suns gravitational pull has pulled the corners off of planets and they have become round

∙ 12y agothey are spheres because of gravatational pull

What is the movement of earth and the other eight planets around the sun?
The most common type of orbit is a circle but depending on the size, mass, density of that planet and the orbit of others but the orbit so far found by Astromoners and Scientists alike are all circle based.In there title don't you mean What is the movement of earth and the other eight seven planets and many dwarf planets around the sun?
Is the earth's orbit around the sun a circle on an ellipse?

Why a planet farther from the sun has a longer period of revolution than a planet closer to the sun?
Because they have a larger distance to cover in their revolution. It's like they have a bigger circle to go around, planets closer have a smaller circle to rotate around.
How does planets circle around the Sun?
Planets circle in an elliptical orbit around the Sun.
What is the name of the circle that the planets go around?

Why are the moons near the planets?
Are you an idiot? Seriosuly, you don't know why moons circle around planets? GO BACK TO SCHOOL IDIOT.
Do the outer planets circle the inner planets?
All planets circle the CEntral Star. So in a way outer planets almost circle inner planets but the Star is at one focus of the planets' orbits so it is more proper to say that planets orbit stars.
Do planets have children?
No Moons that circle around the planets are their children. Mercury and Venus don't have any children because they hate each other and all the other planets are partnered.
