All the planets have elliptical orbits, but Mercury and Mars have the greatest eccentricity. As to why Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric may be related to its proximity to the Sun.

What is the eccentricity of 1?

The eccentricity of a conic section is a measure of its deviation from being circular. An eccentricity of 1 indicates a parabola, meaning the curve opens indefinitely and does not close back on itself, unlike ellipses (eccentricity less than 1) or hyperbolas (eccentricity greater than 1). Therefore, a conic section with an eccentricity of 1 represents a parabolic shape.
