All orbits are ellipses. Earth's orbit is elliptical, with a fairly low degree of eccentricity. This means that while it isn't a perfect circle, it isn't very far off.

What information is needed to determine the general shape of an orbital?

To determine the general shape of an orbital, you need to know the quantum numbers associated with the orbital, primarily the principal quantum number (n) and the azimuthal quantum number (l). These quantum numbers dictate the energy level and shape of the orbital, respectively.


Did Pangaea change the earths shape?

Yes, Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed around 300 million years ago. Its formation and eventual breakup had significant impacts on Earth's shape and the distribution of continents. The movement of tectonic plates caused Pangaea to break apart, leading to the formation of the current continents and shaping Earth's landmasses as we know them today.

What must you know in order to find out a planets period of revolution?

Orbital information. You need to know the size of the "semi-major axis". Then you can calculate the orbital period, using Kepler's Third Law.

Do planets revolve around the sun at the same speed?

No, planets do not revolve around the sun at the same speed. Their orbital speeds depend on their distance from the sun - planets closer to the sun have shorter orbital periods and faster speeds, while those further away have longer orbital periods and slower speeds.
