Question

Planets orbit the Sun in paths called:
A. Circles
B. Ellipses
C. The ecliptic
D. The zodiac

Answer 1

The correct answer is B cause the planets don't orbit in circles

Answer 2

Planets circumnavigate the sun in paths called orbits.  If Newton's
formula for gravity is correct, then it can be shown that the orbits
must have the geometric shape of ellipses.
