Detailed explanation-1: -Venus has the most circular orbit in our solar system. All planets revolve around the sun in almost elliptical or oval-shaped orbits. However, the orbit of Venus is circular.
Detailed explanation-2: -Currently, the orbit of Venus is measured at 0.006, which is the most circular of any planet in our solar system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Of the eight major planets, Venus and Neptune have the most circular orbits around the Sun, with eccentricities of 0.007 and 0.009, respectively. Mercury, the closest planet, has the highest eccentricity, with 0.21; the dwarf planet Pluto, with 0.25, is even more eccentric.
Detailed explanation-4: -In our solar system, Venus and Neptune have nearly circular orbits with eccentricities of 0.007 and 0.009, respectively, while Mercury has the most elliptical orbit with an eccentricity of 0.206.
Detailed explanation-5: -Orbits of the inner planets of the solar system are drawn to scale (although the sizes of the planets are not). Orbits of Venus and Earth are nearly circular. Mercury and Mars orbits are eccentric.
