What is the formula for eccentricity?
eccentricity = distance between foci ________________ length of major axis
What will happen to the eccentricity of an ellipse as the distance between the foci increases?
the eccentricity will increase.

What is the eccentricity of an ellipse in which the distance between the foci is 2 centimeters and the length of the major axis is 5 centimeters?
The eccentricity of that ellipse is 0.4 .
What is the difference between a circle and an ellipse?
-- the eccentricity or -- the distance between the foci or -- the ratio of the major and minor axes
How are foci related to eccentricity?
The eccentricity of an ellipse is a number related to how "egg-shaped" it is ... the difference between the distance through the fat part and the distance through the skinny part. That's also related to the distance between the 'foci' (focuses) of the ellipse. The farther apart the foci are, the higher the eccentricity is, and the flatter the ellipse is. Comets have very eccentric orbits. When the two foci are at the same point, the eccentricity is zero, all of the diameters of the ellipse have the same length, and the ellipse is a circle. All of the planets have orbits with small eccentricities.
What is the eccentricity of an ellipse with a major axis of 54 cm and distance between the foci of 36.4 cm?
Dont know the eccentricity , but the minor axis = 39.888 cm (approx)
What planet has the least distance between the two Foci of its elliptical orbit?
Planets don't have circular orbits; all orbits are ellipses. A circle has one center, but an ellipse has two focuses, or "foci". The further apart the foci, the greater the eccentricity, which is a measure of how far off circular the ellipse is. Venus has the lowest eccentricity, at 0.007. Neptune is next with an eccentricity of 0.011. (Earth's orbit has an eccentricity of 0.017.) So, Venus has the shortest focus-to-focus distance.
What is the distance from one of the foci of the ellipse from its center?
The length of the semi-major axis multiplied by the eccentricity.
