 Eccentricity
Definition of Eccentricity: A measure of the
deviation of an elliptical path, especially an orbit,
from a perfect circle. It is equal to the ratio of the
distance between the foci “2c”of the ellipse to
the length of the major axis “2a”of the ellipse
(the distance between the two points farthest
apart on the ellipse). Eccentricity ranges from
zero (for a perfect circle) to values approaching
1 (highly elongated ellipses). c
