The path of an object in orbit around another object.
It's a "conical section", shaped like a circle, but "flattened" in one direction (a circle can be considered a special case of an ellipse).
An ellipse has two focal points.
It is called an ellipse.
No - The eccentricity only tells us the degree to which the ellipse is flattened with respect to a perfect circle.
The shape is an "ellipse".
If you mean the shape of the orbit, that's an ellipse.
Elliptical
It's more of a stretched out circle.
It is called an ellipse.
No - The eccentricity only tells us the degree to which the ellipse is flattened with respect to a perfect circle.
The shape of the orbit of each planet is an ellipse. An ellipse is a geometric shape that is like a flattened circle. The Sun is located at one of the foci of the ellipse, not at the center.
An ellipse, a hyperbola.
ellipse is the shape of an egg
The Colosseum is in the shape of an ellipse.
I think it's an ellipse. Ellipse is most likely the closest shape of an egg.
Any ellipse is an oval shape. But all ovals are not all ellipses, some are nothing in particular.
No.
The two foci are necessary to define the location of an ellipse, but the shape depends on the eccentricity, which is related to the lengths of the two axes.
A circle - or an ellipse !
