If we take 1 high gravity object and 1 smaller object at a distance from the first object, the first is stationary in relation to the smaller object, and it is in orbit around the first. Will the orbit be circular the center of mass of the two? Now if we put an other object in a different orbit, but in the same plane, around object 1, will that effect the orbits and move them into ellipses? If so is that why the planets orbits are ellipses?
