The planets follow Kepler's law of planetary motion which says they travel in ellipses.
A circle is a special case of an ellipse with eccentricity equal to zero.
Some planets have elliptical orbits with very low eccentricity, so their orbits are almost circular.
Its called an orbit.
No, a revolution is the movement of an object in a circular or elliptical path around another object, such as a planet orbiting around a star like the sun.
Yes. The sun rotates around the Milky Way galaxy (our home galaxy, although only one of billions that we can see) once every 220,000,000 years. There are also other, more subtle motions, but this one answers your question.
Planets follow an elliptical path around the Sun, with the Sun located at one of the two foci of the ellipse. This path is governed by the gravitational force between the planet and the Sun, according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
The path itself is called its orbit. The shape is an ellipse, with the sun sitting at one of the foci.
Its called an orbit.
They don't. They move in ellipses around the Sun.
Planets rotate around the sun. The path is not really circular for planets, it is actually ellipsoidal.
the earth revolves around the sun in a circular path
Yes, the Earth orbiting around the Sun is an example of circular motion. The Earth follows an elliptical path around the Sun, but its overall motion can be considered circular due to its continuous orbiting pattern.
It is called the Earth's ORBIT around the Sun.
It doesn't. The earth orbits the sun in an elliptical fashion.
It depends how you look at it. If you turn your head 90 degrees, you will see a vertical circular path. Note that there is no "up" and "down" in outer space; no preferred direction. The horizontal circular path is the way it is usually presented. This is just a convention.
