Elliptical orbit if applicable.

Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
Are the orbits of inner planets relatively closely spaced?
some times because we revolve in an elliptical orbit which is like the shape of an oval
How is the orbit of asteroids compare to the orbits of planets?
Comets have sharply turning, elliptical, oval-like orbits, as opposed to the rounder, more circular shape of a planet's orbit
What is the shape of Saturn's orbit?
Like the other planets, Uranus has an elliptical orbit as it moves around the sun rather than a circular orbit. Uranus has an axial tilt of 99 degrees, which is a lot, considering the axial tilt of the Earth is 23.5 degrees.
Which shape is most like the shape of planets orbit?
in a oval shape not really a circle ANSWER:OVAL
What geometry shape is the most like a planets orbit?
An ellipse.
Why do the planets orbit the sun What is the shape of those orbits?
Planets orbit the sun because gravity keeps them from escaping, and momentum keeps them moving forward. The orbits are elliptical, which is like an oval.
What do tiny planets orbit?
Like larger planets, dwarf planets also orbit the sun.
How did Rutherfords model describe the atom?
Negative electrons orbiting a positive nucleus much like the planets orbit the sun.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
What shape describes the paths that planets follow?
The planets orbit the sun in an ellipse, like a squashed circle. The amount by which the ellipse is deformed by, from being a circle, is referred to as the eccentricity. An object with a highly eccentric orbit, such as a comet, will have a very elongated and stretched out orbit, its distance from the sun throughout its orbit will vary by a lot.

Do the electron cloud orbit like the sun?
First, recall that planets orbit the sun, not the other way around. Secondly, the term electron cloud is used to describe the body of electrons that orbit the nucleus of an atom. To answer your question as succinctly as possible, the analogy of planets orbiting the sun is one of the best to consider when thinking about the orbit of electrons
What is the shape of Mar's orbit?
An ellipse, like all the planets. Just like every other object in orbit around a much larger central mass, Mars travelsin an orbit whose shape is an ellipse.But the orbit's eccentricity is only 0.094, which means it's so close to being a circlethat you can't tell the difference by looking.
Which shape is most like the shape of planets orbit?
