The truse shape of planetary orbits was discovered by who?
The true shape of planetary orbits was discovered by Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century. He formulated three empirical laws, now known as Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, which describe the motion of planets in the Solar System. These laws are as follows: The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci. A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion provide a mathematical description of the motion of planets in the Solar System and explain why planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun.
How does gravity affect the other planets in the solar system?
"Gravity" is responsible for the existence of planetary orbits, and for their shapes and periods. It's also the reason for the spherical shapes of the planets, and for the existence of atmospheres, in the case of those planets that have any.
What percentage of all planetary matter in the solar system is in Jupiter's mass?
It makes up about 70% of all the planetary matter in the solar system.
What is the definition to planetary system?
A system of celestial bodies grouped around a sun.
What is the shape of the orbits of the planets around the sun?
The planetary orbits of our solar system are considered "elliptical." This includes "circular" orbits, as a circle is a type of ellipse. In astrodynamics, an elliptical orbit and a circular orbit both fit into the description of a Kepler Orbit.
Are All planetary orbits identical in size?
no. in solar system, closer you are to sun, the smaller the orbit size.
Which is the largest planetary satellite in the solar system?
If you mean NATUERAL sattelite like a moon then it would be ganeymede which orbits Jupiter!
What conclusion did Kepler eventually come to that revolutionized the heliocentric model of the solar system?
kepler determined the planetary orbits were elliptical
What work contributed to the modern understanding of the solar system by determining that the planets moved in elliptical orbits?
That was the work of Kepler, resulting in his Laws of Planetary Motion.
What are the two main differences between extrasolar planetary systems discovered to date and your Solar System?
extrasolar planet orbits tend to be closer and more eccentric than in our Solar System
Why doesnt are solar system have more than one star?
Be glad that it doesn't, as that would make stable planetary orbits problematical, and make it impossible for there to be life on Earth.

Does the sun really moves?
The sun orbits (moves) around the planetary system, it is how we get night time (when the sun goes to the other side of the earth) and daytime (when the sun comes back around).
Why planets' orbits are elliptical and not circular?
The solar system condensed out of an interstellar dust cloud; the original cloud was not a perfectly symmetrical object, either in shape or in composition, and as it condensed, the result was not neat or orderly; there were lots of collisions as well as near misses that altered planetary orbits.
Which is biggest a planetary nebula a planetary system or a galaxy?
The galaxis are bigger than planetary nebulae, that are bigger than planetary systems.
What term is applied to any star that is the center of a planetary system?
A sun is a star that is the center of a planetary system.
What three gears make up a complete planetary gear system?
The gears in a planetary gear system are the drive gear, ring gear, and planetary gear.
