Elliptic orbit: History & Standards

In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics, an elliptical orbit or eccentric orbit is an orbit with an eccentricity of less than 1;[citation needed] this includes the special case of a circular orbit, with eccentricity equal to 0. Some orbits with high eccentricity are described as "elongated", but that is not an explanatory term. For the simple two-body…
