Property:Orbital eccentricity

From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science

Jump to: navigation, search

The eccentricity of any circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola is a dimensionless number that describes the deviation of the path described from a perfect circle.

For a circle, eccentricity e = 0.

For an ellipse, 0 < e < 1.

For a parabola, e = 1.

For a hyperbola, e > 1.

In orbital mechanics, e = (apoapsis - periapsis) / (apoapsis + periapsis)
