Which of the following options correctly describe patterns of motion of objects in our solar system? Select all that apply. Each of the jovian planets is orbited by many moons. The planets generally orbit the Sun in approximately the same plane. The orbits of the planets are all aligned within one degree of the Sun's equator. The planets all spin on their axes in the same direction as the Sun rotates. The orbits of most planets are nearly circular.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Understanding the solar system?

The solar system is formed by the Big Bang Explosion and many Jovian and terrestrial planets were formed as a result of it. Both Jovian and Terrestrial planets have different characteristics on the basis of the moons they have, distance from the sun, formation of material etc.
