The Earth's orbit is elliptical and it takes a year to get round the ellipse once.
The ellipse is almost a circle - the minor axis is only 0.014% smaller than the major axis.
The Sun is off-centre by 2.5 million kilometres and the Earth is closest in January (147.1 million km) and furthest in July (152.1 million km), when it is at either end of the major axis of the ellipse.
What else can I help you with?
How long is Pluto's orbit?
It takes Pluto 247.9days to orbit the sun.
Where in space would you look for a globular cluster?
In the Milky Way galactic halo, orbiting the galactic center in a long elliptical orbit around the galactic center
What does a planet with a large orbit around the sun have?
A planet with a large orbit around the sun likely has a longer year or orbital period, meaning it takes more time to complete one revolution around the sun. This may result in colder temperatures due to being farther from the sun, and potentially more elliptical or stretched-out orbit.
Are comets in circular or elliptical orbits?
Comets typically have elliptical orbits, which means their paths around the Sun are elongated and not perfectly circular. This is due to the gravitational influence of other celestial bodies, causing their orbits to be more elongated.
Which planet has not made a complete orbit around the sun?
The planets have been orbiting the Sun for a very long time. However, Neptune has the longest year, about 165 Earth-years long, and since it was only discovered in 1846, 166 Earth-years ago, it has only made one orbit since it was discovered.
How long does it take for light to travel across the earths orbit around the sun?
about 16 minutes and 40 seconds
What type of orbit did sputnik 1 have?
It was launched into an elliptical low earth orbit.
How long is Pluto's orbit?
It takes Pluto 247.9days to orbit the sun.
How long does it take for the light of the sun to reach?
Approximately 8 minutes 20 seconds, but this varies slightly as the Earth's orbit around the Sun is not exactly circular. The orbit is elliptical. I presume you meant "to reach Earth".
Can you place an artificial setellite in any desired orbit or in perticular orbit around earth?
You can put it in any orbit you like, as long as the orbit follows a few simple rules: -- It must be elliptical. (A circle is an ellipse too.) -- One focus of the ellipse, or the center of a circular orbit, must be the center of the earth. -- No part of the orbit can dip into the atmosphere; if it does, then your artificial satellite and its orbit won't last long.
How long does the earths orbit take?
365 1/4 days
What does a longer orbit mean?
Having an elliptical orbit means there is a point for each comet where it is a comet's orbit can be changed over many years by gravity, until it is long and thin.
How long is the hubble?
the hubble is desighed to work in earths orbit for 15 years

What planet has to travels around the sun for 686 days?
Mars has a year that is approximately 686 Earth days long. It travels around the sun in an elliptical orbit, which causes its year to be longer than Earth's.
Are comets in circular or elliptical orbits?
Comets typically have elliptical orbits, which means their paths around the Sun are elongated and not perfectly circular. This is due to the gravitational influence of other celestial bodies, causing their orbits to be more elongated.
