Its Orbit.
Johannes Kepler (Germany), who lived between the time of Copernicus (Poland) and Isaac newton (England), correctly postulated that all of the sun's planets indeed revolve about the sun in orbits which have the shape of an ellipse, with the sun at one focus of the ellipse. Isaac Newton, in his Principiae Mathematica, further stated, essentially, that any planet orbiting any star, or any moon orbiting any planet, would follow an elliptical path.
"orbit"
The path followed by an object that moves around another object is called an orbit. This is commonly seen in celestial bodies like planets revolving around a star, or moons orbiting a planet.
What you are referring to is known as orbiting around an object. This involves moving in a circular or elliptical path around another object, maintaining a certain distance from it. Orbital motion is commonly observed in celestial bodies like planets orbiting around the sun.
Yes, light can travel in a non-straight path when it encounters different mediums that cause it to bend or refract, such as in water or glass. This phenomenon is known as refraction and is responsible for optical illusions like the bending of a straw in a glass of water.
The planets' orbits are elliptical, not exact circles. Still, that doesn't alter the answer too much. Two things combine to give the planets their stable orbits: 1) The velocity of the planet, which, at any moment, is " tangential" to its orbit. (That's, roughly, "sideways" in ordinary words.) 2) The gravitational attraction of the Sun, which is always directly towards the Sun. (If you can do the mathematics it becomes clearer.)
The path on which planets travel is called their orbit.
The gravity of there star keeps them on path and a planets moon is sun around by its planets gravitational force
The path a planet takes is called an orbit.The planets are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the star (in our case the Sun) they orbit.
Planets rotate around the sun. The path is not really circular for planets, it is actually ellipsoidal.
Planets travel in elliptical orbits.
The imaginary path of the planets in the solar system is called the ecliptic. This is the apparent path that the Sun appears to take across the sky as seen from Earth. The planets in our solar system all roughly follow this same path as they orbit the Sun.
Pluto has asteroids in its orbital path. Planets don't.
There path is not imaginary, so the answer is no.
