In mathematics, an ellipse (from Greek ἔλλειψις elleipsis , a "falling short") is the bounded case of a conic section, the geometric shape that results from cutting a circular conical or cylindric...

The semi-major and semi-minor axes of an ellipse are radii of the ellipse (lines from the center to the ellipse). The semi-major axis is the longest radius and the semi-minor axis the shortest. If they are equal in length then the ellipse is a circle.

Half the longest distance (major axis) across an ellipse. The semimajor axis is one of the orbital elements – a standard parameter used to describe an elliptical orbit. The semimajor axis is also the average distance of an orbiting object from its primary.

If the orbit is a circle, the semi-major axis is the radius of the circle. If it is an ellipse, the major axis is the longest diameter, while the minor axis is the shortest. The semi-major axis is half the major axis, in km or mi.
