What is the shape of the path of a planet around the sun called?
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.
Planet's orbit are nearly circular What shape is a comet's?
The shape of a comet's orbit is called an ellipse. This shape is a sort of narrowed circle and comets move in this shape around the sun.
A planet or moon does when they move in a circular pathway around something else?
An orbit.
Which planet has the perfect circular orbit?
No planet has a perfectly circular orbit, though Venus has the least orbital eccentricity of any planet in our solar system.
Will the greatest difference in seasons occur on a planet that has a circular orbit?
The greatest difference in seasons will occur on a planet that has a circular orbit. This is because winds are created this way.

What are two things that keep the moon in a nearly circular orbit around the sun?
Gravity and velocity.
What planet is not large enough to be called a planet?
The 3 attributes of a planet: 1. is in orbit around the Sun 2. is nearly round 3. has cleared its orbit
How is the orbit of the earth around the sun shaped?
All planets in our solar system, including the the Earth have an elliptical orbit around our Sun. In Earth's case, the orbit is nearly circular.
Will the greatest difference in seasons occur on a planet that has a circular orbit?
The greatest difference in seasons will occur on a planet that has a circular orbit. This is because winds are created this way.
Which planet has least perfectly circular orbit?
Mercury.
What is the shape of neptue's orbit?
As with all the planets, the orbit of Neptune is a nearly circular ellipse.
Do The planets maintain circular orbits around the Sun?
The orbit of the planets in our Solar system are not perfectly circular, but eliptical. Each planet also has its own unique orbit, no two planets share an identical orbit. Because of the elliptical (oval) orbit of planets some get close to each other or cross the path of another planet's orbit.
Which 2 planets do not have a circular orbit?
No planet's orbit is perfectly circular. They are all elipses.
