The planet with the highest eccentricity (in other words the most stretched or elongated ellipse) in our solar system is Mercury, with an eccentricity of about 0.21. (Pluto's is higher but is no longer considered a true planet).
By contrast, Venus is the most nearly a perfect circle with an eccentricity of about 0.007.
What else can I help you with?
Does the orbit is very elliptical?
No the planet's orbits are not VERY elliptical but yes, they are somewhat elliptical. They are not just rotating in a circle. More like an oval.
An oval like shape that is used to describe the orbit of planets?
An elliptical orbit is a flattened circle or oval-like shape followed by a planet as it travels around the sun. It is a common shape observed in celestial bodies' paths due to the gravitational pull between them.
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
What is the biggest planet that orbits your sun?
Jupiter is the largest known planet which orbits the Sun.
Do comets travel in orbits with a shape similar to the planets?
No. The planets in the Solar System all have almost circular orbits, but the orbits of comets are highly eccentric (oval-shaped). This means that while the distance a planet is from the Sun is rather constant, the path of a comet means it comes close to the Sun, and then moves far away.
What are those large oval circles in the solar system?
Oval circles in the solar system? Hm you may be talking about the oval lines that are shown in a simple edited solar system image. The oval like lines are the planets orbit trial in which they revolve around the sun.
Even though orbits are ellipes what shape is a typical planet's orbits most like?
Planetry orbits are elliptical. Most planet's orbits are nearly circular apart from Mercury and Pluto.
Does the orbit is very elliptical?
No the planet's orbits are not VERY elliptical but yes, they are somewhat elliptical. They are not just rotating in a circle. More like an oval.
Which planet orbits our sun most quickly?
Mercury
Why is a moon not a planet?
A planet orbits a star such as the sun. A moon orbits a planet.
An oval like shape that is used to describe the orbit of planets?
An elliptical orbit is a flattened circle or oval-like shape followed by a planet as it travels around the sun. It is a common shape observed in celestial bodies' paths due to the gravitational pull between them.
Which moon orbits farthest from its planet?
The moon that orbits farthest from its planet is Calisto. Calisto is also the most heavily cratered object in the entire solar system.
Is a planet a moon?
No. A moon orbits around a planet. A planet orbits around the sun.
How is planet different from moon?
A planet orbits a star whereas a moon orbits a planet.
What is something in the solar system that orbits a planet?
A moon orbits a planet.
What moves in a circle around a planet or star?
A planet orbits a sun, a moon orbits a planet
A small planet that orbits the sun?
Mercury, is the smallest planet that orbits the sun.
