GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Kepler’s First Law: each planet’s orbit about the Sun is an ellipse.

Detailed explanation-2: -The definition of an elliptical orbit is an oval-shaped path, like a slightly elongated circle. This is due to the gravitational interactions among the Sun, planets, and other celestial bodies that move in elliptical paths. All planets in our solar system have an elliptical orbit such as the orbit of Mars seen here.

Detailed explanation-3: -The planets revolve around the sun in elliptical path known as orbit. These orbits were well defined by an astronomer Kepler. He formulated three laws which are known as Kepler’s laws of planetary motion.
