Question

eccentric orbit quick check
venus has the smallest orbital eccentricity of any of the planets. what is the eccentricity of venus? (1 point)
○ 1.0300
○ 0.0068
○ 0.8040
○ 0.0000

Explanation:

Orbital eccentricity values: A circular orbit has eccentricity 0 (but Venus isn't perfectly circular). The known orbital eccentricity of Venus is approximately 0.0068. 1.0300 is invalid (eccentricity ≤1), 0.8040 is too high (like some comets/other planets), 0.0000 is a perfect circle (not Venus). So the correct option is 0.0068.

Answer:

B. 0.0068
