Noun. 1. ellipse-a closed plane curve resulting from the intersection of a circular cone and a plane cutting completely through it; the sums of the distances from the foci to any point on an ellipse is constant. oval. conic, conic section - (geometry) a curve generated by the intersection of a plane and a circular cone.
An ellipse with a small eccentricity, like 0.1 or 0.2, is almost as round as a circle. A long, thin ellipse might have an eccentricity of 0.8 or 0.9. The eccentricity of an ellipse must always be less than one, but it can be very, very close to one-like 0.99, 0.999, or even larger!A circle has an eccentricity of zero.A circle is considered a special type of ellipse, in the same way that a square is considered a special type of rectangle. The eccentricity of Earth's orbit is very small, so Earth's orbit is nearly circular. Earth's orbital eccentricity is only 0.0167.n ellipse with a small eccentricity, like 0.1 or 0.2, is almost as round as a circle. A long, thin ellipse might have an eccentricity of 0.8 or 0.9. The eccentricity of an ellipse must always be less than one, but it can be very, very close to one-like 0.99, 0.999, or even larger!
