No. The planets in the Solar System all have almost circular orbits, but the orbits of comets are highly eccentric (oval-shaped). This means that while the distance a planet is from the Sun is rather constant, the path of a comet means it comes close to the Sun, and then moves far away.
What else can I help you with?
How far do comets travel?
Comets can travel varying distances depending on their orbits. Some comets have orbits that take them far out into the outer solar system, while others have short-period orbits that keep them closer to the sun. Some comets can travel billions of miles during their journey through the solar system.
In what region are most comets at?
We generally believe that comets with orbits of 200 years or less, traveling in the ecliptic plane, come from the Kuiper Belt. Those comets with longer orbits, or that travel at angles to the ecliptic plane, come from the Oort Cloud.
Is Hale-Bopp a planet?
No. Hale-Bopp is a comet. Comets are much smaller than planets, and travel in very eccentric orbits. This means that they come fairly close to the Sun at perihelion, and then retreat to great distances.
Where are comets found in solar system?
It has been suggested that comets originate in the Oort cloud and then travel in long elliptical orbits around the Sun.
Who stated Electrons travel in orbits like planets around the sun?
Ferme
Paths in which objects travel around the sun?
Objects in our solar system, including planets, asteroids, and comets, travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits. The planets orbit the Sun in nearly circular paths along a plane known as the ecliptic. Comets and asteroids can have more eccentric and tilted orbits compared to the planets.
What is the shape of all the orbits of comets?
Comets travel in highly elliptical orbits. See link for more.
What is the path planets travel?
Planets travel in elliptical orbits.
Do meteorites asteroids and comets travel in their own orbits?
no.....
What do comets travel in?
elongated elliptical orbits around the sun

Does comet and asteroid travel around the sun?
ASTEROIDS TRAVEL AROUND THE SUN IN A COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION JUST LIKE THE PLANETS. Comets differ in their orbits.Most of them have orbits so large and elongated that it takes thousands of years for them to come near the sun.
What other bodys travel around the sun but are not considered planets?
Asteroids, and comets.
Is Hale-Bopp a planet?
No. Hale-Bopp is a comet. Comets are much smaller than planets, and travel in very eccentric orbits. This means that they come fairly close to the Sun at perihelion, and then retreat to great distances.

Do the planets closest to the sun travel slowest in their orbits?
No, the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it orbits.
