What happens to the ellipse when the eccentricity becomes zero?

Then it will be a circle.


What is the minimum eccentricity a ellipse can have?

What does eccentricity means? But a ellipse is a word i dunno, all i know is the ecllispe the minty mint i eat every day.


The ellipse with less eccentric is smaller or larger than an ellipse with more eccentric?

An ellipse with less eccentricity will be closer in shape to a circle, so it will generally be smaller than an ellipse with more eccentricity which is more elongated. The size comparison also depends on the specific dimensions of the ellipses.


How does the eccentricity of an ellipse change as the foci get closer together?

As the foci of an ellipse move closer together, the eccentricity of the ellipse decreases. Eccentricity is a measure of how elongated the ellipse is, defined as the ratio of the distance between the foci to the length of the major axis. When the foci are closer, the ellipse becomes more circular, resulting in a lower eccentricity value, approaching zero as the foci converge to a single point.


How does the shape change with increasing eccentricity?

As the eccentricity of a shape increases, the shape becomes more elongated or stretched out. For example, an ellipse with a higher eccentricity will look more like a stretched circle. In general, as eccentricity increases, the shape will deviate more from its original form and become more elongated.


What is the name of the geocentric figure which has the minimum eccentricity?

It is called a circle.A circle is an ellipse with zero eccentricity.Incidentally, you probably meant "geometric figure".


How are foci related to eccentricity?

The foci of an ellipse are points used to define its shape, and the eccentricity of an ellipse is a measure of how "elongated" or stretched out it is. The closer the foci are to each other, the smaller the eccentricity, while the farther apart the foci are, the larger the eccentricity of the ellipse.


What is the FOCI of a circle?

A circle is an ellipse with an eccentricity of zero. Both foci of that ellipse are at the same point. In the special case of the circle, that point is called the "center".


What does the eccentricity of an ellipse tell you about the ellipse?

The eccentricity of an ellipse, denoted as ( e ), quantifies its deviation from being circular. It ranges from 0 to 1, where an eccentricity of 0 indicates a perfect circle and values closer to 1 signify a more elongated shape. Essentially, the higher the eccentricity, the more stretched out the ellipse becomes. Thus, eccentricity provides insight into the shape and focus of the ellipse.


When is an ellipse very accentrie?

An ellipse is very eccentric when its foci are far apart.The closer one focus is to the other, the less eccentric the ellipse is.When when both foci are the same point, the eccentricity is zero, and the ellipse is a circle.


Does the eccentricity E gives us the size of an ellipse?

No - The eccentricity only tells us the degree to which the ellipse is flattened with respect to a perfect circle.


If an asteroid is in an elliptical orbit about the Sun with the Sun almost at the center of the ellipse what would the eccentricity of the ellipse be?

The eccentricity of the ellipse would be close to zero. In an almost circular orbit, the eccentricity approaches zero. This means that the asteroid's orbit is very close to being circular, with the Sun almost at the center.
