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.
An oval path around the Sun is when instead of going in a circle around the Sun it goes in an oval course (like the shape of an egg). If you research the dwarf planet Pluto then you'll find it has an eliptical path around the Sun, this is the same as an oval path. Good luck and I hope this helps!!
A circle has the same diameter around its border, while an oval is longer than its width.
in geometry how is a circle different from an oval?
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.
A circle has a constant radius whereas an oval does not.
No. An oval is a streched out circle. A circle is not a regular shape.
oval
A circle.
An oval is an ellipse
A circle but Pluto (which is not considered a planet currently) makes an oval shape.
No the planet's orbits are not VERY elliptical but yes, they are somewhat elliptical. They are not just rotating in a circle. More like an oval.
