No, it's an "oval" shape called an ellipse. But it is almost a circle.

∙ 14y agoJust as the planets circle the Sun, the Sun and many other stars revolve around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Sun makes one nearly circular orbit around the galactic center about every 230 million years, moving at a speed of about 220 km/second.
The Milky Way also moves (but does not seem to orbit any other stellar structure). We are moving towards our nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are part of the "Local Group" of galaxies, which is moving towards the Virgo Cluster, the nearest large cluster of galaxies.

∙ 12y agowhen the sun is nearer to the galaxic centre it is circular and if it is far then it is elliptic with respect to galaxic centre.(GALAXIC CENTRE:in our milky way glaxi all the stars revolves around glaxic centre)
here every body will rovolves around it's big body due to the magnitic flux of larger body.
best eg:our sun is big compare to all the planets.here orbit will depends up on distance from the big body.when the planet is close towards the sun(distance is short) here it is circle because the magnetic flux is in circular manner at north and south poles as the distance is increasing circle orbit changes to elliptical.best example is our solar system because nearer planet Mercury in circular orbit as the distance is increasing Pluto planet is in elliptical.
now sun may nearer to onother sun(big body) so it's orbit is circle.if the sun is at far distance it is elliptical.with respect to big body.
here all suns and stars revolve in circular when they are nearer to galaxic centre and if some of them are large distance so they orbit elliptical.
here if we get exact distance from the big body( big sun) automatically we can say it is circular or elliptical.
best eg:our moon is in circular manner but not in elliptical why? because the moon is nearer to earth if it is faf from earth it will be in elliptical.

∙ 8y agoIt looks like it but since the science of dynamics was developed in the 17th century it has become generally accepted that the Earth is in orbit round the Sun.
That is because the Sun is many times more massive than the Earth and there is no force that would make the Sun follow an orbit, while we understand that the force of gravity between the Earth and Sun causes the Earth to stay in its stable orbit while the Sun hardly moves at all.
In addition the whole solar system including the Sun and the planets is in steady motion through the Galaxy towards a point (actually a direction) called the Solar Apex.

How many days are in the suns year?
Planets have years based on the time it takes them to orbit the sun. The sun does not orbit itself, so it does not have a year.Planets have years based on the time it takes them to orbit the sun.

Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
What stars orbit the sun?
Stars do not orbit the sun.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Do comets orbit Jupiter?
Comets orbit the Sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
Does the sun orbit Mars?
All planets orbit the Sun.
Does a asteroid orbit the sun?
Yes. Asteroids orbit the sun.
Which two planets orbit the sun not the earth?
All the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, not the Earth.Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and the Earth's orbit.
