The planet with the highest eccentricity (in other words the most stretched or elongated ellipse) in our solar system is Mercury, with an eccentricity of about 0.21. (Pluto's is higher but is no longer considered a true planet). By contrast, Venus is the most nearly a perfect circle with an eccentricity of about 0.007.
A circle has the same diameter around its border, while an oval is longer than its width.
An oval path of a planet around the sun is called an elliptical orbit. In an elliptical orbit, the planet moves in a slightly elongated shape rather than a perfect circle. This shape is described by its eccentricity, which measures how far the elliptical orbit deviates from a perfect circle.
in geometry how is a circle different from an oval?
No. An oval is a streched out circle. A circle is not a regular shape.
A circle has a constant radius whereas an oval does not.
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.
