What is the equation to determine the eccentricity of an orbit?

• e = f - d

• e = f + d

• e = f / d

• e = d / f

Please label D on the Ellipse

• Focus

• Perihelion

• Aphelion

• Elliptical

When Earth orbits around the sun, it slows down when it is close to the sun. It speeds up its orbit when it is further from the sun. This is because the sun's gravity is stronger when you are closer to it.
