The Earth has an eccentricity of 0.017. Which of the three ellipses that you calculated do you think is the most similar in eccentricity to the Earth’s orbit? Why?

Respuesta :

SOLUTION

Eccentricity means a measure of how much the deviation of the curve has occurred from the circularity of the given shape.

Of the three ellipses, the eccentricity is

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Ellipses 1=0.21} \\ \text{Ellipses 2=}0.4 \\ \text{Ellipses 3=0.64} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Ellipses 1 has an eccentricity closer to the eccentricity of the Earth

Hence

Ellipses 1 is the most similar in eccentricity to the Earth's orbit
