Paths in which objects travel around the sun?
Objects in our solar system, including planets, asteroids, and comets, travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits. The planets orbit the Sun in nearly circular paths along a plane known as the ecliptic. Comets and asteroids can have more eccentric and tilted orbits compared to the planets.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
What planet orbit around the sun is most nearly circular?
Venus has the most nearly circular orbit around the sun. Its eccentricity, which measures how much an orbit deviates from a perfect circle, is the lowest among all the planets in our solar system.
What has elliptical orbits?
As an elliptical orbit is any orbit that isn't perfectly circular, everything has an elliptical orbit. The planets Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits of the planets, and are easily seen to be oval shaped. Comets also have highly elliptical orbits.
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.
What is the shape of neptue's orbit?
As with all the planets, the orbit of Neptune is a nearly circular ellipse.

What has a larger orbit comets or planets?
Comets.
Does planet mercury have comets?
comets crash into all planets!Planets don't have comets. Planets have moons. Comets orbit the sun
What are the planets with the most circular orbits?
Venus has the least eccentric (most nearly circular) orbit of the eight in our solar system.
Planets do not collide into one another?
Planets around the sun in nearly circular orbit . The radii of these orbits differ widely
Does a comet orbit anything?
Yes, comets orbit the sun, but usually in an eliptical (oval) or eccentric orbit rather than a more-or-less circular one like the planets.
Are comets moons?
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
What is the differences between the earth's orbit and a comet's orbit?
The Earth orbits in the plane of the ecliptic in an ellipsoidal orbit that is nearly circular. Comets orbits are highly elliptical and mostly out of the plane of the ecliptic.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
