Question

keplers first and third laws quick check which is the best description of earth’s orbit? (1 point) ○ circular ○ almost circular ○ parabolic ○ highly elliptical

Explanation:

Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse, but its eccentricity is very low (about 0.0167), meaning it is very close to being a circle, so "almost circular" is the best description. A circular orbit would have an eccentricity of 0, and Earth's isn't exactly that. A parabolic orbit is for objects that escape a gravitational body (not Earth's case), and "highly elliptical" is incorrect as Earth's orbit is only slightly elliptical.

Answer:

B. almost circular
