<p class="center"><i>Eccentricity: how much a <a href="conic-sections.html">conic section</a> (a circle, ellipse, parabola or hyperbola)<br>
|
|
varies from being circular.</i></p>
|
|
<div class="def">
|
|
<p>A circle has an <b>eccentricity of zero</b>, so the eccentricity shows you how "un-circular" the curve is. Bigger eccentricities are less curved.</p>
|
|
</div><p style="float:right; margin: 0 0 5px 10px;"><img src="images/eccentricity.svg" alt="Eccentricity" height="350" width="300"></p>
|
|
<p>Different values of eccentricity make different curves:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>At <b>eccentricity</b> = 0 we get a <a href="circle.html">circle</a></li>
|
|
<li>for 0 <<b> eccentricity</b> < 1 we get an <a href="ellipse.html">ellipse</a></li>
|
|
<li>for <b>eccentricity</b> = 1 we get a <a href="parabola.html">parabola</a></li>
|
|
<li>for <b>eccentricity</b> > 1 we get a <a href="hyperbola.html">hyperbola</a></li>
|
|
<li>for infinite <b>eccentricity</b> we get a <a href="line.html"> line</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Eccentricity is often shown as the letter <span class="large">e</span> (don't confuse this with <a href="../numbers/e-eulers-number.html">Euler's number "e"</a>, they are totally different)</p>
