Ellipse..
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
The mutual gravitational forces that attract a planet and the sun to each other are responsible for keeping the planet in orbit around the sun.
The curved path of a planet around the sun is called an orbit. Orbits are elliptical in shape, with the sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse. The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planet in its orbit as it travels around the sun.
The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of its foci. This means the shape of the orbit is similar to a slightly flattened circle. The orbiting planet will travel along this path due to the gravitational pull of the Sun.
The size of the planet along with the gravitational force within the planet.
Elliptical
This orbit is called an ellipse. An oval shape.
The shape of a planet's orbit is elliptical.
Elliptical
elliptical
no because stars can orbit each other
False. The term is elliptical. Eclipse is what happens when planets and moons pass in front of one another or the sun.
An elipsis
The deviation of each planet's orbit from a circle is referred to as its eccentricity. It is a measure of how much the planet's orbit deviates from a perfect circle, with a value of 0 indicating a perfectly circular orbit and values closer to 1 indicating more elliptical orbits. Eccentricity influences the shape and characteristics of a planet's orbit, affecting factors such as its closest and farthest distances from the sun.

Each planet has one orbit that is just called the orbit of . . . .
It varies from planet to planet. But most planets including our own, orbit the star in an elliptical motion.
