1. "All planets in the solar system orbit the Sun": By definition, planets in the solar system orbit the Sun, so this is true.
2. "Only rocky planets have rings": The text states "Giant planets can have rings", so rocky planets are not the only ones with rings, this is false.
3. "Some giant planets have a diameter of less than 5,000 kilometers": The text says giant planets have a diameter between 49,000 and 143,000 kilometers, so this is false.
4. "Planets' orbits tend to be nearly circular or oval - shaped": This is a known characteristic of planetary orbits in the solar system, so this is true.
