• Earth's orbitBroader topic: It quantifies how elliptical Earth's path is.

• Orbital elementsBroader topic: It distinguishes nearly circular orbits from elongated ellipses and open trajectories.

• Orbital perturbationBroader topic: Perturbing forces can make an orbit more or less elongated.

• OrbitBroader topic: It distinguishes circular, elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic orbital paths.

• Planetary orbitBroader topic: It distinguishes nearly circular planetary paths from elongated ellipses.

• Orbit of the MoonBroader topic: The Moon’s nonzero eccentricity makes its distance and orbital speed vary.

• Kepler's first lawBroader topic: Eccentricity distinguishes circular, elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic trajectories.

• Milutin MilankovićBroader topic: Milanković calculated how changing orbital shape modifies seasonal sunlight contrasts.

• Tisserand parameterBroader topic: Eccentricity enters the parameter through the body's orbital angular momentum.
