Answer:

E) Saturn (e- 0.0541)

Explanation:

The eccentricity of an ellipse (e) is a value that determines the shape of the ellipse, in the sense that it is more rounded or if it approaches a segment. Let "c" be the focal semidistance and "a" the major semi-axis:

e =  c / a

The planets glide majestically into an orbit around the Sun, leaving no trace of the gravitational constraints that drive them. However, an orbit is the path followed by a planet to satisfy the constraints of the gravitational effects of the multiple celestial bodies and in particular of the sun.

The orbits have a perihelion and aphelion, therefore an eccentricity and an inclination, an ascending node, a vernal point and an argument of the perihelion. The orbits of the planets are all more or less in the same plane.  This orbital plane is called the ecliptic.

In the case of saturn, the orbital eccentricity is 0.054150600

Answer:

The Colorado river through its course.

Explanation:

  • The Colorado is one of the major river systems of the southwestern united states and northern Mexico and forms a 1,450 mile long. Starting on the central rocky mountain systems of the river flows to southwest plateau regions and is known for the dynamic canyons and the formation of the rapids can be seen by the horseshoe bend at the Arizona.
  • Most of the upper parts of the river are white waters streams that have a depth of 60 feet.With areas of marshy valleys near the head water s and the grand valley that exhibits braided characteristics. In downstream the rover enters the marble canyons and passes under the Navajo Bridges on a southward course.
  • The river swings to the west of the Granite Gorge, near the grande canyon were the rover cuts up to one mile in Colorado plateau and exposes some oldest rocks on earth and the lower ends widens to the lake mead to the hoover dam.
  • A large estuary is formed before the Colorado River empties into the gulf, about 75 miles south of Yuma. Forma delta and flood plains that cover the 7800 km square northwest of Mexico.
