The orbit of Earth around the sun is mostly circular but a little bit oval like. The Earth takes 365.26 days to revolve around the sun.

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.


Does the moon revolve around earth in a circular orbit?

No, the moon's orbit is elliptical with an eccentricity of about 0.55


What is the compression of the earths orbit around the sun?

The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.


What is the almost circular path of the earth called?

It is called the Earth's ORBIT around the Sun.


What is the approximate compression of the earths orbit around the sun?

The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.


Is earth's orbit around the sun circular?

Not completely, however very close.


Assume that the moon travel at constant speed in a circular orbit around the earth is the moon's velocity is constant?

Yes, since the moon is in a circular orbit around the Earth, its velocity is constant but its direction is changing continuously as it moves around the Earth. This constant velocity is necessary to maintain the circular motion without drifting away or falling into the Earth.


What is the difference between Earth's orbit and Mars' orbit?

Earth's orbit is closer to the sun than Mars' orbit. Earth takes about 365 days to orbit the sun while Mars takes about 687 days. Additionally, Mars has a more elliptical orbit compared to Earth's nearly circular orbit.


The velocity required to keed a satellite in orbit around the Earth is called?

circular velocity


How much work is done on a satellite in a circular orbit about Earth?

The work done on a satellite in a circular orbit around Earth is zero because the gravitational force acting on the satellite is perpendicular to the direction of motion, so no work is done to maintain the orbit.


Does the moon have a circular or elliptical orbit around the earth?

The moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical, meaning it is not a perfect circle but rather an oval shape. This results in the moon's distance from the Earth changing throughout its orbit.


What is the ellipse eccentricity for earth?

The eccentricity of Earth's orbit around the Sun is approximately 0.0167. This value indicates how elliptical or circular the orbit is, with 0 being a perfect circle and 1 being a straight line. A lower eccentricity value like Earth's means the orbit is nearly circular.
