Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

They change orbital paths sometimes which also explains Earth's seasons. They can sometimes be in a circle but sometimes the circle can stretch making a more oval shape.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Planets actually have oval-like orbital paths called ellipses. They resemble ovals and are often on an incline (not flat).
