Question

The law of _____ suggests that the orbit of planets is not circular but _____. Fill in the blanks: circles triangles ellipses rectangle

Answer 1

The law of ellipses suggests that the orbit of planets is not circular but elliptical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kepler's first law (the law of ellipses) explains that the orbit of the planets around the sun is not in a circular but elliptical path.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Kepler's First Law: The orbit of a planet around the Sun (or a satellite around a planet) is not a perfect circle. It is an ellipse—a “flattened” circle. The Sun (or the center of the planet) occupies one focus of the ellipse. A focus is one of the two internal points that help determine the shape of an ellipse. The distance from one focus to any point on the ellipse and then back to the second focus is always the same.

The law of ellipses suggests that the orbit of planets is not circular but ellipses

Therefore your answer would be; Ellipses
