What does the orbit of a planet look like?
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.
Do the planets closest to the sun travel slowest in their orbits?
No, the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it orbits.
The planets stay in elliptical orbits around the sun because?
Keplers laws. Kepler deduced that the planets orbit about the sun in an elliptical pattern described by the mass at one focus of two. When the planet (or any satellite for that matter) is closer to the extreme of the ellipse closer to the "real mass" focus, it will travel faster through space, however, when going about the opposite extreme, it will travel slower. The ratio at which this happens is difficult to describe but I will say that the planet will cover the same amount of "area" with the "massive" focus as a center as anywhere else. The reason that it is an ellipse and not a circle? well, the chances of a stranded loner mass enters the gravitational field of a greater mas at just the right angle and a just the right speed are very small. An ellipse is simply easier to manage, at least for nature.
Do the planets travel at the same speed?
No, planets do not all travel at the same speed. The speed at which a planet moves in its orbit around the Sun depends on its distance from the Sun and its mass. Closer planets tend to move faster than those further away.
What measurement changes when you travel to another planet?
Your Mass!

Does a planet travel fastest or slowest when near the sun?
faster nearer to the sun, the sun has more pull to move it faster
Which is the fastest planet to travel once around the sun?
Mercury travels around the sun faster than any other planet (88 Earth days) because it is the closest planet to the sun.
What force governs the path of celestial objects that travel in an ellipse?
FACE!
What is earthes orbit?
An orbit is the path a planet takes around the sun. Earth's orbit is an ellipse. It takes the Earth one year to travel along the elliptical path around the sun.
Do the planets closest to the sun travel slowest in their orbits?
No, the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it orbits.
Do snail or earthworms travel faster?
earthworms travel faster
Would you travel faster heading east than west because of the rotation of the planet earth?
I believe that is why, but if not then it's probably because of the wind direction.
The Earth travels around the sun in an ellipse?
That's true; all the planets travel in ellipses.
How fast do earth around the sun?
The Earth's orbit is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse. But it isn't very eccentric; the orbit is almost circular, but not quite.If the Earth's orbit was circular, it would travel at about 67,000 miles per hour. At perihelion (in January) the Earth is moving a little faster than that, while at aphelion (in July) it is moving just a little slower.

Can echoes travel faster than light?
No. Nothing can travel faster than light.
