Its Orbit.
Johannes Kepler (Germany), who lived between the time of Copernicus (Poland) and Isaac newton (England), correctly postulated that all of the sun's planets indeed revolve about the sun in orbits which have the shape of an ellipse, with the sun at one focus of the ellipse. Isaac Newton, in his Principiae Mathematica, further stated, essentially, that any planet orbiting any star, or any moon orbiting any planet, would follow an elliptical path.

?That's called the planet's orbit.
orbit, the sun's gravity pulls all sorts of things into its orbit.

∙ 14y agoThe path along which the planets move around the sun is called "the orbit" of a planet. Same for the moons of a planet, they "orbit" around a planet.

Can we make light travel in a non straight path?
Yes; light is known to bend around planets, due to gravity.
What are the examples of rectillinear motion?
a car going in a straight line an apple falling from the tree drawer of a table
How does uniform circular motion related to planetary motion?
The planets' orbits are elliptical, not exact circles. Still, that doesn't alter the answer too much. Two things combine to give the planets their stable orbits: 1) The velocity of the planet, which, at any moment, is " tangential" to its orbit. (That's, roughly, "sideways" in ordinary words.) 2) The gravitational attraction of the Sun, which is always directly towards the Sun. (If you can do the mathematics it becomes clearer.)
What is the path electricity path?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
What effect does gravity have on the outer planets?
The effect of gravity does effect the planets. Gravity keeps the planets to the sun. Gravity works between any 2 objects. It's the attraction between planets and sun that keeps planets going around the sun otherwise they would keep going in a straight line.
Name the path on which planets travel?
The path on which planets travel is called their orbit.
What keeps the planets on their path?
The gravity of there star keeps them on path and a planets moon is sun around by its planets gravitational force
What do you call the path to the planets takes what keeps the planets on this path?
The path a planet takes is called an orbit.The planets are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the star (in our case the Sun) they orbit.
Does planets move in circular path instead of straight lines?
Planets rotate around the sun. The path is not really circular for planets, it is actually ellipsoidal.
What is the path planets travel?
Planets travel in elliptical orbits.
What does Pluto have that planets don't?
Pluto has asteroids in its orbital path. Planets don't.
Path of planets around the sun is?
path of planet around the sun
Do the planets move in their own imaginary path yes or no?
There path is not imaginary, so the answer is no.
What are the path that planets follow called?
Orbits.
The type of path planets take?
Ellipse
What is the name of the path that the planets take?
ORBIT
What do you call into the imaginary path of the planets?
Their "orbits".
