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.

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.

In what type of orbits do planets move around the sun?

Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits. These orbits are elongated and follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which describe the shape and dynamics of the planetary orbits.

What are the planets orbits?

The planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in elliptical paths. Each planet follows its own unique orbit based on its distance from the Sun and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The orbits are roughly aligned along the same plane known as the ecliptic.


What forces cause the planets to go around the sun and stay in their orbits?

The force of gravity between the planets and the sun is what keeps the planets in their orbits. Gravity pulls the planets towards the sun, but their forward velocity keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.


Why do you think planets do not have same orbits?

It's because each planets is a collection of all the debris that was going round in a similar orbit before the planets were formed. So the planets only survived to the present day by having different orbits.
