Neither. Both ovals and circles are two-dimensional shapes. Earth is three-dimensional. Earth is what is called an oblate spheroid, meaning it is wider around the equator than it is from pole to pole.
What else can I help you with?
The shape of the orbit of each planet is a?
The shape of the orbit of each planet is an ellipse. An ellipse is a geometric shape that is like a flattened circle. The Sun is located at one of the foci of the ellipse, not at the center.
What is the shape of the Earth's obit around the sun?
The earth's orbit, like almost all orbits of heavenly bodies, is an ellipse.
The orbit of the Earth around the Sun is shaped most like?
The Earth makes an elliptical orbit around the Sun, not a circular orbit. The names Earth and Sun are proper names for our planet and star, so they usually get a capital letter. What is one complete orbit called? A "siderial period". And the time it takes: one year.
The ellipse with less eccentric is smaller or larger than an ellipse with more eccentric?
Eccentricity does not refer to the [size] of the ellipse. It refers to the [shape].An ellipse with [zero] eccentricity is a [circle].As the eccentricity increases, the ellipse becomes less circular,and more 'squashed', like an egg or a football.
How does the shape change with increasing eccentricity?
As the eccentricity of a shape increases, the shape becomes more elongated or stretched out. For example, an ellipse with a higher eccentricity will look more like a stretched circle. In general, as eccentricity increases, the shape will deviate more from its original form and become more elongated.
What is an orbit shaped like?
an ellipse
What is an olive shaped like?
an ellipse
What is shaped like an ellipse?
an egg
Why does orbital distance change?
Orbits are shaped like an ellipse, with the star at the focus. An ellipse does not have a constant radius.
Which shape is a closed curve shaped like an egg?
An ellipse.
What does the shape of an ellipse describe to us?
The path of an object in orbit around another object. It's a "conical section", shaped like a circle, but "flattened" in one direction (a circle can be considered a special case of an ellipse). An ellipse has two focal points.
Earth's orbit us shaped like a flattened circle. What is the name of that shape?
It is called an ellipse.
A closed curve shaped like an egg is called?
Common term is an oval Mathematical is an ellipse
What is the closed curve that is shaped something like a chicken egg?
That shape is called an 'oval' or an 'ellipse'.
How is the planet's orbit shaped like?
Most things orbit in an elliptical pattern. There is a technical definition of an ellipse but between you and me it is an oval.
Word that means seeming like an oval?
Ovoid means "seeming like an oval" or "egg-shaped."
What is a path followed by a planet and satellite as it circles the sun in your solar system?
The path is called an orbit, and it's shaped like an ellipse.
