The Sun, in our solar system.

Don't let me confuse you, but I have a slightly better answer.

Technically the planets AND the Sun all orbit about the centre

of mass of the system. This is just outside the surface of the Sun.

So Copernicus and Galileo were wrong!

OK I'm just being pedantic. "The Sun" is basically the correct answer.

What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?

Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.

In what type of orbits do planets move around the sun?

Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits. These orbits are elongated and follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which describe the shape and dynamics of the planetary orbits.

What are the planets orbits?

The planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in elliptical paths. Each planet follows its own unique orbit based on its distance from the Sun and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The orbits are roughly aligned along the same plane known as the ecliptic.


What forces cause the planets to go around the sun and stay in their orbits?

The force of gravity between the planets and the sun is what keeps the planets in their orbits. Gravity pulls the planets towards the sun, but their forward velocity keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.


Do other planets revolve around the sun too do they have there own orbits?

They have their own orbits, around the star they formed around, just like how our planet orbits our sun.


What is Kepler's first law states that the orbits of the planets around the Sun?

Kepler's 1st law states that the orbits of the planets around the sun and makes an ellipse. This is taught in astronomy.
