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 planet's orbit looks the least like a circle?
Mercury's orbit looks the least like a circle compared to other planets in our solar system. Its highly elliptical orbit is the most elongated, meaning it is more stretched out and not as round as other planets' orbits.
What is the shape of mercury's orbit?
Yes. It varies in distance from the sun. At closest it is about 46,000,000 km and at farthest, 69,800,000 km away. It is the most elliptical orbit of the solar system planets, the measure of which is eccentricity. Mercury is 0.205. Zero is a circle higher numbers are more elliptical, with 0.999... as the limit.All planets have elliptical orbits.
Do comets orbit around the sun just like planets?
Yes, they do. But their orbits are highly eccentric. That means that their orbit first takes them very close to the Sun and then very far away, making the orbit very elongated. Also, all the planets orbit the Sun in more-or-less the same plane. ie, All the orbits are in line (Picture a disc). The orbit of most comets, on the other hand, are not in the same plane. Check the images in the related links for a better idea on their orbits.
Does Pluto have have tilted orbit compared to the other planets?
Yes, Pluto has a tilted orbit compared to the other planets in our solar system. Its orbit is inclined at an angle of about 17 degrees relative to the plane in which most other planets orbit the Sun.
What geometry shape is the most like a planets orbit?
An ellipse.

What shape does an orbit take?
It varies from planet to planet. But most planets including our own, orbit the star in an elliptical motion.
Name of the orbit around the sun?
The SHAPE of the orbit the Earth and most planets and other bodies of mass in space are usually elliptical.
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
Which planet's orbit looks the least like a circle?
Mercury's orbit looks the least like a circle compared to other planets in our solar system. Its highly elliptical orbit is the most elongated, meaning it is more stretched out and not as round as other planets' orbits.
How are moons and planets alike?
Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
What is the shape of mercury's orbit?
Yes. It varies in distance from the sun. At closest it is about 46,000,000 km and at farthest, 69,800,000 km away.

Do all planets has moon?
No, they don't. But most of our planets that orbit the sun do.
What is the evidence for the black hole has the most density?
Stars and planets orbit around the most dense masses, that's why we orbit the sun. Our main source of evidence is that planets are orbiting and sometimes disappearing into what looks like nothing, but it is a black hole.
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.
Do comets orbit around the sun just like planets?
Yes, they do. But their orbits are highly eccentric. That means that their orbit first takes them very close to the Sun and then very far away, making the orbit very elongated. Also, all the planets orbit the Sun in more-or-less the same plane. ie, All the orbits are in line (Picture a disc). The orbit of most comets, on the other hand, are not in the same plane.
