Planetary orbits are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Planetary motion is explained by Kepler's three laws. According to the Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, the orbits of planets are elliptical with Sun at one of its focus. These paths have low eccentricities which makes them almost circular.

The orbits are neither equally spaced nor closely together as they get further. The planetary orbits are almost along the ecliptic. (Ecliptic is the path of the Sun as observed from the Earth throughout the year).
