The scientific explanation lies in Kepler's laws of planetary motions, which were discovered by Newton to be linked with the law of gravity. All the planets have elliptical orbits, and many of those are close being circular.
The planets in our solar system have an elliptical (oval) orbit around the Sun. This orbital shape is a result of the gravitational forces between the planets and the Sun. Planets closer to the Sun have shorter and more circular orbits, while those farther away have longer and more elliptical orbits.
No, not all planets have elliptical orbits. While most planets in our solar system have nearly circular orbits, some planets, like Mercury and Pluto, have more elliptical orbits. Additionally, exoplanets outside our solar system can have a variety of orbital shapes.
Planets revolve in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational influence of other bodies in the solar system. As planets interact with each other, their orbits can become elongated or slightly off-center, leading to elliptical shapes rather than perfect circles. This is a result of the complex dynamics of the solar system.
Yes, none of the planets in our solar system have exactly circular orbits, though some are more eccentric than others.
No planet's orbit is perfectly circular. They are all elipses.
The planets in our solar system orbit the Sun in elliptical paths, which are elongated circles. These orbits are shaped by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the planets themselves, following Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
if you mean the imaginary line that the planets travel on it's called an 'Orbit' or 'obital path'
I don't know what "elliptical planet" is supposed to mean, but by any reasonable definition I can think of, no, all planets are "elliptical planets".
All planets in our solar system, including the the Earth have an elliptical orbit around our Sun. In Earth's case, the orbit is nearly circular.
All planets in our solar system have elliptical orbits.
The planetary orbits of our solar system are considered "elliptical." This includes "circular" orbits, as a circle is a type of ellipse. In astrodynamics, an elliptical orbit and a circular orbit both fit into the description of a Kepler Orbit.
That theory is supported by observation, and is predicted by other theory that isconfirmed by both observation and experiment.1). A system of planets moving around the sun in elliptical orbits is the simplest structurethat produces the motions of the planets that we actually see in the sky.(demonstrated by Kepler, working with Tycho's observational data)2). A theory of universal gravitation, proportional to the product of masses and inverselyto the square of the distance between masses, predictsthat planets will move aroundthe sun in elliptical orbits.(Newton)
