What is the orital shape of the planets in our solar system?
The planets in our solar system have an elliptical (oval) orbit around the Sun. This orbital shape is a result of the gravitational forces between the planets and the Sun. Planets closer to the Sun have shorter and more circular orbits, while those farther away have longer and more elliptical orbits.
What are two thing the planets have in common?
Planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun and are roughly spherical in shape due to their gravity.
What shape orbit did Kepler use for planets?
Ellipses
What is the shape of a planets orbit and in which direction do all planets revolve?
Planets orbit in an elliptical shape around the Sun, with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse. All planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise when viewed from above the Sun's north pole.
Why the solar system revolves as centripetal force but they looks like oval shape?
The planets orbit the Sun in near-perfect circles, but they are actually ellipses. This is because that although the Sun contains much more mass than the planets in our solar system, the planets pull the Sun slightly, which by definition creates an elliptical orbit.
What is the shape that planets follow?
Planets follow an eclipse shape when orbiting around the sun. Pluto had an irregular orbit and is no refereed to as a moon.
What shape do planets trace as they orbit around the sun?
Planets orbit the sun in the shape of an ellipse, which is an elongated circle similar to an oval. When it was first discovered that the Sun is the center of the solar system, it was thought that all the planets had a circular orbit, but the calculations didn't fit.

What is the shape of the orbit that the planets take called?
Elliptical Orbit
What shape describes the paths that planets follow?
The planets orbit the sun in an ellipse, like a squashed circle. The amount by which the ellipse is deformed by, from being a circle, is referred to as the eccentricity. An object with a highly eccentric orbit, such as a comet, will have a very elongated and stretched out orbit, its distance from the sun throughout its orbit will vary by a lot.
What are two thing the planets have in common?
Planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun and are roughly spherical in shape due to their gravity.
What do all the planets in the solar system have?
An orbit around the Sun and a nearly spherical shape. See related question.
Does Jupiter have an unusual orbit around the sun?
No.No.No.No.
The suns gravitational pull causes the earth and other planets to the sun?
Yes, the sun's gravitational pull is what keeps Earth and the other planets in our solar system in orbit around it. This gravitational force is what maintains the planets' paths and prevents them from moving off into space.
What are three ways that the outer and inner planets are alike?
Shape, rotation-direction, and orbit-direction.
Term used for the shape of the planets orbit?
Ellipse.
What is the shape of the orbit of planets around the sun?
An ellipse.
