No. A circle is an unstable shape for an object orbiting another. An orbit is between slightly and very elliptical (egg-shaped).
If an object is placed in a circular orbit, the orbit will quickly deteriorate to an elliptical orbit.
Added:
Mar's elliptical eccentricity is rather above average for a planetary orbit. Not quite as large as Mercury, but large enough.
What else can I help you with?
Is Mars' orbit a perfect circle?
No, Mars' orbit around the Sun is not a perfect circle but is rather an elongated ellipse. This means that Mars' distance from the Sun varies throughout its orbit, with its closest point called perihelion and its farthest point called aphelion.
What is the shape of a plants orbit?
The shape of a plant's orbit around the sun is generally elliptical, meaning it is an elongated circle. This shape allows the planet to move closer to and farther away from the sun at different points in its orbit.
How Much kilometers is it from Mars to sun?
Mars to the Sun is about 228 million kilometers
Does the sun orbit Mars?
All planets orbit the Sun.
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Is Mars' orbit a perfect circle?
No, Mars' orbit around the Sun is not a perfect circle but is rather an elongated ellipse. This means that Mars' distance from the Sun varies throughout its orbit, with its closest point called perihelion and its farthest point called aphelion.
What is the diameter from the Sun to the mars?
there is no diameter for a diameter must have a full circle, and Mars has an elliptical orbit.
What shape do planets trace as they orbit around the sun?
Planets orbit the sun in the shape of an ellipse, which is an elongated circle similar to an oval. When it was first discovered that the Sun is the center of the solar system, it was thought that all the planets had a circular orbit, but the calculations didn't fit.
What is the shape of a plants orbit?
The shape of a plant's orbit around the sun is generally elliptical, meaning it is an elongated circle. This shape allows the planet to move closer to and farther away from the sun at different points in its orbit.

How far is Mars from the sun and does it orbit?
mars is the 4th planet from the sun and it does orbit
Is mars orbit strange?
Mars's orbit is more elliptical than all the eight major planets except Mercury. This enabled Kepler to discover that the orbit was elliptical and not as previously thought a circle with the Sun offset from the centre (represented by a circle and an epicycle with the centre of the epicycle travelling round the circle, and the planet positioned on the epicycle).
Which shape is most like the shape of planets orbit?
in a oval shape not really a circle ANSWER:OVAL
What shape does the planets make when they circle the sun?
A circle but Pluto (which is not considered a planet currently) makes an oval shape.
How many planets orbit between the sun and mars?
There are no planets that orbit between the Sun and Mars. The planets that orbit between the Sun and Mars are Mercury and Venus, with Mars being the next planet in the sequence.
