Eccentricity of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. The fluctuation between a nearly circular and elliptical orbit drives cyclic changes in the Earth's environment, including the global carbon cycle.

Earth’s orbit around the Sun is not circular, but an ellipse that is slightly elongated with an eccentricity of 0.017. (An eccentricity of 0 is a circle, while the dwarf planet Pluto has a ...

The orbits of the planets around the sun have been the source for many a scientific debate. Their current orbital properties ...

the eccentricity of the earth's orbit, and even fluctuations in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, have individually or collectively been invoked. The influence of ocean currents ...

Pluto, for example, has a highly elongated orbit compared to the planets in our solar system and has an orbital eccentricity of 0.25. Earth has an orbital eccentricity of just 0.02. This new ...
