An ellipse in the plane has how many degrees of freedom?
five; they are: position, orientation, shape, and scale
How many rotational symmetries does a ellipse have?
An ellipse has rotational symmetry of order 2.
How many lines semmetry does a ellipse have?
2
Can the foci's of and ellipse be outside the ellipse?
No.
How does ellipse differ from a circle?
ellipse is the shape of an egg

An ellipse in the plane has degrees of freedom?
two
How many sides does ellipse have?
Ellipse has no sides and
How many foci are at the center of an ellipse?
An ellipse has 2 foci. They are inside the ellipse, but they can't be said to be at the centre, as an ellipse doesn't have one.
How many straight lines does a ellipse have?
None; an ellipse is a smooth curve, not a line.
How many rotational symmetries does a ellipse have?
An ellipse has rotational symmetry of order 2.
How many foci does an ellipse have?
Two
How many asymptotes does a ellipse have?
None.
How many lines of symmetry does an ellipse have?
An ellipse has two lines of mirror symmetry: the line that includes the two foci of the ellipse and the perpendicular bisector of the segment of that line between the two foci.
Is the Moon's orbit around the earth completely straight?
No, the moon's orbit is an approximation of an ellipse. The plane of this ellipse is tilted by about 5.14 degrees, which is why we don't get lunar and solar eclipses every month. The ellipse also has irregularities causing it to deviate from a true ellipse due to perturbations in earth's gravity field, tidal movement of the oceans, and the gravity of other objects (particularly the sun).
