What is the name of the path along which the planets travel?
The path along which a planet travels is called an orbit.
Which force is responsible for making planets and satellites travel in near circular orbits?
Gravity is the force responsible for making planets and satellites travel in near circular orbits around a central body, such as the Sun or a planet. The gravitational pull between the central body and the orbiting object keeps it in a stable, elliptical path.
What is the name of the path along which a planet travels?
riding "shotgun"Ans 2.The path of any orbit is an ellipse.Note. It is possible to have a circular orbit, but mathematically speaking a circle is only a 'special case' of an ellipse.
Are the orbit of planets circular How may their path be best described?
The orbits of planets are actually elliptical, not perfectly circular. An ellipse is a stretched-out circle. The shape of a planet's orbit can be described as an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.
If you stop an object moving in a circular path what direction will the object travel an instant later?
If you stop an object moving in a circular path, it will continue to travel in the direction tangent to the circle at that point, due to its inertia. This is in accordance with Newton's first law of motion.
Name the path on which planets travel?
The path on which planets travel is called their orbit.
What do you call a circular path to do with the solar system?
if you mean the imaginary line that the planets travel on it's called an 'Orbit' or 'obital path'
Does planets move in circular path instead of straight lines?
Planets rotate around the sun. The path is not really circular for planets, it is actually ellipsoidal.
What is the name of the path along which the planets travel?
The path along which a planet travels is called an orbit.
What is the path planets travel?
Planets travel in elliptical orbits.
Invisible path on which planets travel in the space?
Planets travel in space along an invisible path called their orbital trajectory. This path is determined by the gravitational pull of the star they are orbiting, causing them to move in an elliptical path. The planets follow these orbital trajectories as they revolve around the star in their respective orbits.
The planets aroud the sun move in a path called an?
The planets around the sun move in a path called an orbit. This orbit is the result of the gravitational pull between the planets and the sun, causing them to travel in a curved path around the sun.
What makes a circular path around the sun?
The planets follow Kepler's law of planetary motion which says they travel in ellipses. A circle is a special case of an ellipse with eccentricity equal to zero. Some planets have elliptical orbits with very low eccentricity, so their orbits are almost circular.
Are the orbit of planets circular and How may their path be best described?
No, the orbits of planets are not perfectly circular but are elliptical in shape. The path of planets around the Sun can be best described using Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which state that planets move in elliptical paths with the Sun at one of the foci of the ellipse.
Which force is responsible for making planets and satellites travel in near circular orbits?
Gravity is the force responsible for making planets and satellites travel in near circular orbits around a central body, such as the Sun or a planet. The gravitational pull between the central body and the orbiting object keeps it in a stable, elliptical path.
What is a path in which planets and other objects travel?
Orbit
What is the shape of the path of a planet around the sun called?
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
