Question

Planets move around the sun in circular orbits true or false

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Because all planets revolve in elliptical orbit.

Answer 2

Planets move around the sun in circular orbits is false.

Elliptical Orbit:

• Elliptical Orbit occurs when an object moves or circles around another item in an extended path rather than in a circular motion.
• All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun on an extended course.
• The same may be said about our natural satellite, the moon. The speed of the moon as it revolves around the planet Earth changes depending on its place in the revolutionary route. When the moon is farthest from the planet, it moves the slowest, and when it is closest to the earth, it moves the fastest.
• Communication satellites benefit from elliptical orbits since they are seen at a ground station for a prolonged period and are only out of touch for a brief time.
• Thus planets move around Sun in an elliptical orbit, not in a circular.
