Which object is located at one foci of the elliptical orbit of Mars?
probably the sun since one of earths eliptical foci is the sun
How many foci in circular orbit?
Most orbits are elliptical; all NATURAL orbits are. There are two foci, or focuses, to an ellipse. The distance between the foci determines how eccentric, or non-circular, they are. If the two foci are in the same place, then the ellipse becomes a circle. So a circular orbit would have only one focus.
The sun is located at one of the two in the shape of Earth's orbital path.?
FOCI
What is the shape of the path of a planet or asteroid around the sun called?
The path itself is called its orbit. The shape is an ellipse, with the sun sitting at one of the foci.
What is the actual shape of the Earths orbit around the Sun?
The actual shape of the earth's orbit around the sun is horrendously complicated. Partly because the earth does not orbit the sun and also because the orbit is influenced by the the gravitational attraction of the other planets. The earth does not orbit the sun: the centre of mass of the earth-sun system is at one of the foci of an ellipse whose eccentricity is 0.0167. The eccentricity varies from 0.0034 to 0.058.

Where is the sun is located at one of the two in the shape of earths orbital path?
The path of the Earth's orbit is an ellipse. The Sun is positioned at one of the two foci of the ellipse.
What object is located at the foci of Jupiter's orbit?
Objects such as planets move around the Sun in ellipses; the Sun is at ONE of the foci of the ellipse. The other focus has no special significance in astronomy.
What is the scientific name for the path of a planet around the sun?
The scientific name for the path of a planet around the sun is an orbit. The shape of this path can be an ellipse, with the sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse.

Where in the earths orbit is the sun located?
Earth's orbit is an ellipse; the Sun is at one of the ellipses focal points. (The other focal point has no astronomical significance.)

When a planet revolves around a star in an elliptical orbit is the star one of the two foci of the ellipse?
All ellipses have two focuses, or "foci". For the Earth's orbit, the Sun is at one focus of the Earth's orbit. There isn't any physical object at the other focus of the Earth's elliptical orbit.For the Moon, the Earth is at one focus of the Moon's orbit.
What is the pathway of a celestial body around the star?
The orbit is elliptical, and in simple cases, the centre of the two bodies' mass is at one of the foci of the ellipse.
What is the shape of the path of a planet or asteroid around the sun called?
The path itself is called its orbit. The shape is an ellipse, with the sun sitting at one of the foci.
What is the shape the earth rotates the sun?
The shape of the Earth's orbit as it revolves around the Sun is an ellipse. This is a shape consisting of all points on a plane whose distances from two reference points (called foci, singular focus) add up to a given number. In every orbital ellipse, the body orbited (in the Earth's case, the Sun) is located at one of the foci.
