Formel

Orbital Eccentricity

Eccentricity describes how elongated an orbit is (0 = circle, approaching 1 = very elongated ellipse).

Formula

e = (r_a - r_p) / (r_a + r_p)

Semi-major axis: a = (r_a + r_p) / 2

Lösungsbeispiel

Earth: perihelion 147.1M km, aphelion 152.1M km.

  1. 01e = (152.1M - 147.1M) / (152.1M + 147.1M)
  2. 02e = 5M / 299.2M ≈ 0.01672
  3. 03a = 299.2M / 2 = 149.6M km

Häufig Gestellte Fragen

What eccentricity is a circle?

A perfect circle has e = 0. Most planets have e < 0.1.

What does e = 1 mean?

Eccentricity of 1 is a parabolic escape trajectory. Above 1 is hyperbolic.

Which planet is most eccentric?

Mercury at about 0.2056 among the eight planets.
