What type of orbit do the planets have to revolve around the sun?

According to Keplers first law of 1618 which has not been repealed yet, the planets each move in an elliptical orbit with the Sun occupying one focus. The shape of an ellipse is described by the eccentricity. For low eccentricity such as the planets' orbits have, the orbit is very close to being a circle but the most significant difference is that the Sun is off-centre.

What type of orbit did Kepler say planets moved around the Sun in?
Ellipse
What is the movement of earth and the other eight planets around the sun?
The most common type of orbit is a circle but depending on the size, mass, density of that planet and the orbit of others but the orbit so far found by Astromoners and Scientists alike are all circle based.In there title don't you mean What is the movement of earth and the other eight seven planets and many dwarf planets around the sun?
What does revolution mean with the solar system?
A revolution in the solar system is the movement of one object around another. For example, all the planets REVOLVE around the sun or the moon REVOLVES around earth. It takes 365.26 days for the earth to have one revolution around the sun, technically a year.
What is the shape of the orbits of the planets around the sun?
The planetary orbits of our solar system are considered "elliptical." This includes "circular" orbits, as a circle is a type of ellipse. In astrodynamics, an elliptical orbit and a circular orbit both fit into the description of a Kepler Orbit.
Which type of object visible from earth orbits the sun and has cleared the area of its orbit?
The type of object that orbits the sun and has cleared the area of its orbit is called a planet. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit the sun, are spherical in shape, and have cleared their orbit of other debris or objects. There are currently eight known planets in our solar system.

What are the similarities between planets and comets?
Asteroids and meteors are made up of rocks or ice.All cannot be seen without a telescope (Only comet has exception to that whenever it's orbit comes close to Earth such as Hailey's comet.
In what type of system do the Earth Sun planets and stars revolve?
The Sun, Earth and other planets, along with many other items are part of a Solar System.

Who was the person that figured out that we revolve around the sun?
Type your answer here... Copernicus
What type of force provided by the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit?
the gravititonal pull does; it is what keeps all the planet in the suns orbit xx
What type of orbit does Uranus have?
uranus has an elliptical orbit, as do all the planets. interesting fact, due to it's long narrow orbit, Pluto is sometimes closer to the sun than neptune.
In the solar system what revolves around the sun?
Just as the planets circle the Sun, the Sun and many other stars revolve around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Sun makes one nearly circular orbit around the galactic center about every 230 million years, moving at a speed of about 220 km/second. The Milky Way also moves (but does not seem to orbit any other stellar structure). We are moving towards our nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are part of the "Local Group" of galaxies, which is moving towards the Virgo Cluster, the nearest large cluster of galaxies.
