What else can I help you with?
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.
What orbit has the eccentricity that is closest to 0?
Of the planets in our solar system, Venus has the smallest eccentricity.
How is the orbit of the earth around the sun shaped?
All planets in our solar system, including the the Earth have an elliptical orbit around our Sun. In Earth's case, the orbit is nearly circular.
Does a comet orbit anything?
Yes, comets orbit the sun, but usually in an eliptical (oval) or eccentric orbit rather than a more-or-less circular one like the planets.
How is the orbit of asteroids compare to the orbits of planets?
Asteroids generally have more eccentric and inclined orbits compared to planets, which typically have more circular and aligned orbits. Asteroids can intersect the orbits of planets and have a wider range of distances from the sun. Planets, on the other hand, tend to orbit in a more stable and predictable manner.
What do you know about the solar system?
that all the planets orbit around the sun, and that orbit's are not circular.
What is the shape of neptue's orbit?
As with all the planets, the orbit of Neptune is a nearly circular ellipse.
Do planets orbit the sun in a circular direction?
No. Planets orbit the Sun (or some other star) in ellipses.
Who astronomer disproved the idea that planets move in a circular orbit?
kepler
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.
Which planets move in an elliptical pattern?
They all do. Some planets are closer to a circular orbit than others (have a lower eccentricity), but none are exactly circular.
Which planet has the perfect circular orbit?
No planet has a perfectly circular orbit, though Venus has the least orbital eccentricity of any planet in our solar system.
What are the planets with the most circular orbits?
Venus has the least eccentric (most nearly circular) orbit of the eight in our solar system.
Planets do not collide into one another?
Planets around the sun in nearly circular orbit . The radii of these orbits differ widely
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.
Do The planets maintain circular orbits around the Sun?
The orbit of the planets in our Solar system are not perfectly circular, but eliptical. Each planet also has its own unique orbit, no two planets share an identical orbit. Because of the elliptical (oval) orbit of planets some get close to each other or cross the path of another planet's orbit.
Which planet's orbit is most like a circle?
Venus has the most circular orbit among the eight planets in our solar system. Its eccentricity, which measures how elongated an orbit is, is the closest to zero, making it almost circular.
