Question
which of the following best describes venus orbit around the sun?
as a wavy and curvy path
as a straight, vertical line
as a perfectly circular path
as a constantly changing path
Venus' orbit around the Sun is an ellipse, which is a constantly changing path. A wavy and curvy path is not a scientific description of an orbit. A straight, vertical line is incorrect as planets orbit in curved paths. While Venus has the most circular - like orbit among the planets (its eccentricity is very low, \(e = 0.006777\)), it is still an ellipse (a constantly changing path in the sense of its position relative to the Sun) and not a perfectly circular path (a perfect circle has \(e=0\)).
