An elliptic Kepler orbit with an eccentricity of 0.7, a parabolic Kepler orbit and a hyperbolic Kepler orbit with an eccentricity of 1.3. The distance to the focal point is a function of the polar angle relative to the horizontal line as given by the equation ( 13 )

Crocus was unhappy with his love affair with the nymph Smilax, and he was turned by the gods into a plant bearing his name, the crocus ().Smilax is believed to have been given a similar fate and transformed into bindweed.
In a two-body problem with inverse-square-law force, every orbit is a Kepler orbit. The eccentricity of this Kepler orbit is a non-negative number that defines its shape. The eccentricity may take the following values: Circular orbit: e = 0; Elliptic orbit: 0 < e < 1; Parabolic trajectory: e = 1; Hyperbolic trajectory: e > 1; The eccentricity e ...
