Which Planet has the least eccentric orbit?

The least eccentric orbit is Venus The most eccentric orbit is Pluto (aside from Pluto, Mercury)


Which planet in the solar system has an orbit so eccentric that it crosses the orbit of another planet?

Mercury has the most eccentric orbit in our solar system, and it occasionally crosses the orbit of Venus. Its elliptical path also brings it close to the Sun, resulting in extreme temperature variations on the planet's surface.


Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?

Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits among the planets in our solar system. Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric, while Pluto's orbit is also highly elliptical due to its distance from the Sun and its eccentric orbit.


What planets orbit is so eccentric?

The planet with the most eccentric orbit in our solar system is Mercury. Its orbit is elongated, varying the distance from the Sun significantly. This eccentricity causes it to experience extreme temperature differences between its closest and farthest points from the Sun.


Which Planet has the most eccentric orbit?

Mercury's orbit has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets. It used to be Pluto, but Pluto is now a dwarf planet. Also if you were wondering Mars has the 2nd highest eccentricity.


What is the shape of path of mercury planet around the sun?

Mercury has an elliptical orbit, it is also one of the most eccentric orbits of our solar system.


Which jovian planet is most dense?

The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Of these planets, Neptune is the most dense, at 1.638 grams per cubic centimeter.


The planet whose orbit has the greatest eccentricity is?

The planet with the greatest eccentricity in our solar system is Mercury. eccentricity refers to how much an orbit deviates from a perfect circle, and Mercury's orbit is the most elongated and eccentric of all the planets.


The planet has an orbital eccentricity most like the moon?

The planet with an orbital eccentricity most similar to the Moon is Mercury. Mercury has a slightly eccentric orbit like the Moon, meaning it deviates from a perfectly circular path. This causes Mercury's distance from the Sun to vary significantly during its orbit.


What planet has the most elongated orbit?

What you are referring to is the eccentricity of the planet's orbit around the sun. Eccentricity of a circular orbit is 0.0, whereas the eccentricity of an extremely elongated orbit is 1.0. So the closer the eccentricity of a planet's orbit is to 1.0, the more elongated is its orbit around the sun. Many extra solar planets have high eccentricities in accordance with their parent stars. In our solar system Mercury ( .20563) and Pluto (.24880766) have the highest eccentric orbits.


Which planet has the smallest orbit and the largest orbit?

The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.


Is there anything unusual about Jupiters orbit?

Not particularly, it is just further away from the sun than earth is.Every planet has a unique orbit, so every planet's orbit is unusual. The most unusual thing about Mars's orbit, however, is the fact that it has the 2nd most "eccentric" orbit out of the 8 planets in our Solar System. That means it is the least circular orbit after Mercury's.
