How is Earth's orbit around the sun similar to the orbits of other planets around the sun?

all orbit according to the sun's gravity- if there was none they would all move in a pretty straight line instead of an orbit Answer: All planets follow eliptical orbits around the sun, and all move in the same direction around the sun.

Planets move around the sun in orbits?
elliptical
In what type of orbits do planets move around the sun?
elliptical
What orbits a star and reflects the stars light?
Many planets around each star reflect the star's light. For example think about Earth's orbit around the sun, a big star
Newton learned that the orbits of planets are the result of what two forces?
Gravity and inertia.
Which planet moves the most slowly in its orbit?
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
What is Earths sun?
Moon orbits around earth, which orbits around the sun.
What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?
Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.
What orbits around the planets?
moons
What does the earth and planets do around the sun?
it orbits around it
Which planets orbital shape is similar to Jupiter?
All planets in our solar system have elliptical orbits.
What makes the planets go around the sun?
the orbits
Planets move around the sun in orbits?
elliptical
What is the path the planets tke around the sun?
orbits
What is gravity responsibe for?
Orbits of the planets around the sun
Do other planets revolve around the sun too do they have there own orbits?
They have their own orbits, around the star they formed around, just like how our planet orbits our sun.
What is Kepler's first law states that the orbits of the planets around the Sun?
Kepler's 1st law states that the orbits of the planets around the sun and makes an ellipse. This is taught in astronomy.
