What is Elliptical orbit?
In [[astronomy]], an '''elliptical orbit''' refers to an object (such as a [[planet]] or [[star]]) which [[Orbit|orbits]] around a central body in an [[Ellipse|elliptical]] motion. This motion follows [[Kepler's Laws]]. An [[Ellipse|elliptical]] [[orbit]] occurs when the [[Orbital eccentricity|eccentricity]] of its [[orbit]] is greater than 0, and less than 1. The [[Moon]] moves around the [[Earth]] in an [[Ellipse|elliptical]] [[orbit]], and the [[Planet|planets]] move around the [[Sun]] in an [[Ellipse|elliptical]] [[orbit]]. Other types of motion in [[astronomy]] include [[circular orbit]], [[parabolic trajectory]], and [[hyperbolic trajectory]]. {{science-stub}} [[Category:Orbits]]
