How does the eccentricity of the earth compare to that of a perfect circle?
The eccentricity may take the following values: circular orbit: e=0, non-radial elliptic orbit: 0<e<1, parabolic trajectory: e=1,radial trajectory: e=1, non-radial hyperbolic trajectory: e>1, the orbit is one branch of the hyperbola. ChaCha
