Who predict that the planets circle around the sun?
Copernicus was the first astronomer to come up with the idea of heliocentric cosmology (planets orbit the sun).
How do the motions of the sun and planets reflect the disk shape of the solar nebula?
The motions of the Sun and the planets reflect to disk shape of the solar nebula because they follow the same rotation as this disk shape. The rotation of the Sun and the planets is not a perfect circle.
What shape do planets trace as they orbit around the sun?
Planets orbit the sun in the shape of an ellipse, which is an elongated circle similar to an oval. When it was first discovered that the Sun is the center of the solar system, it was thought that all the planets had a circular orbit, but the calculations didn't fit.
What planet orbits around the sun?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune in that order The order is often remembered by "My Very Earthly Mother Just Sat Upon Needles" Where the first letter of each word in the mnemonic corresponds to the first letter of the planets in the order of distance from the sun. Note: no planets orbit the sun in a perfect circle, but a shape close to a circle (more like an oval), that is called an ellipse.
Does the sun circle the earth or does the earth circle the sun?
They both rotate about the center of mass of the Earth Sun System. This center of mass is located inside of the sun but is not the exact center of the sun. As the sun revolves about this point inside itself this causes the sun to wobble slightly. This wobble is how we are able to locate extrasolar planets.
How does planets circle around the Sun?

Which of these terms means a complete circle around the sun?

The sun and all of the bodies that circle around it including planets and moons make up the solar system.
What are the planets and moons that circle the sun called?
It is called the solar system
What shape does the planets make when they circle the sun?
The planets do not circle the sun in any specific shape. Their orbits around the sun are more elliptical than circular, and each planet has its own unique elliptical orbit.
The Sun the earth and remaining planets are roughly in shape?
the sun earth and the remaining planets are roughly spherical in shape.
Who put the idea that the earth and the planets circle around the sun?
Nicolaus Copernicus
