What you are referring to is the eccentricity of the planet's orbit around the sun. Eccentricity of a circular orbit is 0.0, whereas the eccentricity of an extremely elongated orbit is 1.0. So the closer the eccentricity of a planet's orbit is to 1.0, the more elongated is its orbit around the sun. Many extra solar planets have high eccentricities in accordance with their parent stars. In our solar system Mercury ( .20563) and Pluto (.24880766) have the highest eccentric orbits.

Which planet has an oblique elliptical orbit?
Pluto has the most oblique orbit. All the planets have elliptical orbits, however Mercury has the most elliptical orbit since Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet. This information is provided by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and available online [see related links].
Which planet has most elliptical orbit?
Mars has the most elliptical orbit. The earth's is almost a perfect circle
Which planet's orbit is most like a circle?
Venus
What is an elongated enclosed circle around the earth orbit?
It is an ellipse,
Which Planet has the least eccentric orbit?
The least eccentric orbit is Venus The most eccentric orbit is Pluto (aside from Pluto, Mercury)
What planet orbits in an oval the most?
The planet with the most elliptical or oval-shaped orbit is Mercury. Its orbit is highly elongated, with a high eccentricity of 0.21. This means that Mercury's distance from the Sun varies significantly throughout its orbit, causing extreme temperature fluctuations on the planet's surface.
Do Pluto orbit is almost perfectly round?
No, in fact it has the most elongated and tilted orbit in the whole solar system
Which planet take the most time to orbit the sun?
Planet Neptune takes the most time to orbit the sun, as it is the farthest away.
Which planet has an oblique elliptical orbit?
Pluto has the most oblique orbit. All the planets have elliptical orbits, however Mercury has the most elliptical orbit since Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet. This information is provided by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and available online [see related links].
What shape does an orbit take?
It varies from planet to planet. But most planets including our own, orbit the star in an elliptical motion.
Which planet has most elliptical orbit?
Mars has the most elliptical orbit. The earth's is almost a perfect circle
Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?
The planet with the most elliptical orbit is Mercury. Second is Mars.
Which planet's orbit is most like a circle?
Venus
What is an elongated enclosed circle around the earth orbit?
It is an ellipse,
What planet do comets orbit?
Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.
What planet has the most unusual and highly elliptical orbit which causes it to move inside another planet's orbit every 248 years?
You are thinking of Pluto. Pluto is now designated a minor planet.
What planet takes the most to orbit the sun?
Neptune. It would be Pluto, but Pluto is a dwarf planet ( a planet that was a planet, but decided that it wasn't a planet)
