The orbital eccentricity of an astronomical body is the amount by which its orbit deviates from a perfect circle, where 0 is perfectly circular, and 1.0 is a parabola, and no longer a closed orbit.

Planet with the least circular orbit?
The eccentricity value measures how non-circular an orbit is. The planets in decreasing order of eccentricity with their approximate eccentricity values are: # Pluto: 0.25 # Mercury: 0.21 # Mars: 0.093 # Saturn: 0.056 # Jupiter: 0.048 # Uranus: 0.047 # Earth: 0.017 # Neptune: 0.0086 # Venus: 0.0068
What is the path that planets follow around the Sun called?
The path is called the orbit. There are 8 planets (excluding Pluto and the other dwarf planets) with separate paths at various unique distances from the Sun.The planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (in order of increasing distance from the Sun).The path that a planet takes while traveling around the sun is called its orbit. Mercury has the fastest orbit, at 88 days. Neptune has the longest orbit, at 165 years.

What is the order of the planets by who is largest?
Putting the planets in order by size is:JupiterSaturnNeptuneUranusEarthVenusMarsMercury
Do we have 11 planets in the solar system?
Technically yes. If you list ALL 13 known planets in order, including dwarf planets, they are:1. Mercury2. Venus3. Earth4. Mars5. Ceres6. Jupiter7. Saturn8. Uranus9. Neptune10. Pluto11. Haumea12. Makemake13. ErisDwarf planets also fall under the category of minor planets, of which there are thousands in our solar system. As of 2017, the orbits of 734,274 minor planets were archived at the Minor Planet Center, 496,815 of which had received permanent numbers. The largest minor planet that is not considered to be a dwarf planet is Sedna.
How does the eccentricity of earth compare to other planets?
Earth has an average eccentricity in its orbit of 0.0167. This compares with 0.0068 for Venus and 0.205 for Mercury, which are the minimum and maximum eccentricities in the eight planets. So, the Earth's orbit is not too far from circular. In order of increasing eccentricity, the list of planets is: Venus Neptune Earth Uranus Jupiter Saturn Mars Mercury.
What is the order of the planets of increasing distance from the sun?

Which two planet have orbits that at time cross one another making them switch their order from the sun?
No planets fulfill that criteria.
Why are some planets near the sun and some others far from the sun?
Near (in order from closest to farthest): Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars Far (same order as before): Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Why? I suppose that's just how things worked out when the planets formed from the "protoplanetary disk". The planets have to be spaced apart enough to form stable orbits. Otherwise their mutual gravitational attraction could disrupt their orbits.
What is the order of all the planets in our solar system?
As of 2017, it depends on whether you count major planets only, or all planets.The 8 major known planets in order from the Sun are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneIf you list ALL 13 known planets in order, including dwarf planets, they are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsCeresJupiterSaturnUranusNeptunePlutoHaumeaMakemakeErisDwarf planets also fall under the category of minor planets, of which there are thousands in our solar system.

What is the mnemonic that helps you remember the sun earth and moon order?
There is no 'phrase' or mnemonic for this because the order of the Sun, Earth and Moon changes as the Moon orbits the Earth. Remember - planets obit a star (the Sun is a star) - Earth is a planet moons orbit planets - The Moon is a moon.
Which planet has a large body that orbits the Sun?
By definition all planets in the solar system orbit the Sun; also, in order to be a planet they have to be large enough to achieve their rounded shapes.
