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 planet moved in an elliptical orbit?
All planets have elliptical orbits.
The planets orbit the sun in what?
In an elliptical orbit. E.g. not entirely round.
Which two planets has the most elliptical orbit?
Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits among the planets in our solar system. Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric, while Pluto's orbit is also highly elliptical due to its distance from the Sun and its eccentric orbit.
What planets orbit the sun in blank or ovals?
The planets that orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits are all of the eight major planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These elliptical orbits vary in shape and size, with Mercury having the most eccentric orbit. The concept of elliptical orbits was first described by Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century, establishing that planets move in ovals rather than perfect circles.
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.
How is Neptune's orbit described?
It is described as a large elliptical orbit.
What is the shape of the orbit that the planets take called?
Elliptical Orbit
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.
What has elliptical orbits?
As an elliptical orbit is any orbit that isn't perfectly circular, everything has an elliptical orbit. The planets Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits of the planets, and are easily seen to be oval shaped. Comets also have highly elliptical orbits.
What planet moved in an elliptical orbit?
All planets have elliptical orbits.
The planets orbit the sun in what?
In an elliptical orbit. E.g. not entirely round.

Do most planets orbit in an elliptical patern?
Yes.
Who is known for discovering that the orbit of the planets were elliptical?
Kepler
Is the orbit of Mercury highly elliptical or little elliptical?
The orbit of Mercury has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets
