the eccentricity of comet tempel-tuttle ia 0.9055
The eccentricity of Hallry's comet is 0.967
0.995. High excentricities (approaching 1) are quite common for comets.
Elliptical paths, just like planets. Typically, but not always, with greater eccentricity.
0.016710220 is the Earth's orbital eccentricity
The eccentricity of Psyche's orbit is 0.140
The eccentricity of Hallry's comet is 0.967
stupid old comet encke doesn't have any eccentricity at all!

All orbits are ellipses; this is true for both planets and for comets. Cometary orbits are somewhat extreme ellipses, where the difference between the perihelion (closest to the Sun) is very different from the aphelion (farthest from the Sun) distance. This difference is called "eccentricity". Planets have relatively low eccentricity; for Earth, for example, the eccentricity is only 3%. Some comets don't have an "orbit" at all. An "orbit" implies that the comet will eventually come back. But some comets are "hyperbolic"; their paths aren't an ellipse, but a hyperbola. A hyperbolic comet is a one-time visitor to the solar system; it has fallen in from interstellar space, and will be going back out to interstellar space.
The eccentricity of the Earth is approximately 0.0167.
Eccentricity is only present in ovals and ellipses. A circle is present. The eccentricity of an oval or ellipse is how linear it is.
0.016710220 is the Earth's orbital eccentricity
The eccentricity of Psyche's orbit is 0.140
The eccentricity of the circle is zero.
"The old man's eccentricity was worrying." "Eccentricity is for the rich - the poor man is simply mad." "I am conducting a study of perceptions of eccentricity in different cultural groups." "Eccentricity should not be considered to be a negative aspect of personality, but rather a fascinating idiosyncrasy."
It would have an eccentricity of 0.
