Astronomical unit

Teach Astronomy - Astronomical Units

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The astronomical unit is defined as the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun. It has to be defined as the mean because the orbit is elliptical by a couple of percent. The astronomical unit is 150 million kilometers or 98 million miles. This sets the

Teach Astronomy - Orbit Eccentricity

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ Orbital eccentricity is the amount by which an orbit deviates from a circle. Mathematically it's defined as the distance between the two foci of an elliptical orbit divided by the major axis. A circle has an ellipticity, denoted by the little symbol "e", of
