INSIDE LAB 2: MOTIONS OF THE SUN, MOON, AND PLANETS OBJECTIVE: This ratio is called the eccentricity, e. EXERCISE 5: Determine the ratio of the focal length to the semi-major axis in Figure 3. Answer: Kepler's Third Law relates the time needed for the planet to complete one full orbit to the geometry of the ellipse...

Looking at all the numbers in this row, you can see that the pattern across the nine planets is broken most notably by the distance from Mars' orbit to Jupiter's. A scientist developing a theory about the planets' orbits would need to account for this break in the pattern. ... 8. Eccentricity of Orbit. Orbits that are...
