Question

eccentric orbit quick check
what does it mean when the orbital eccentricity of a planet is close to 1? (1 point)
its orbit is close to another planets
its orbit is a highly elongated ellipsis
its orbit is not closed around a fixed point
its orbit crosses over the orbit of another planet

Explanation:

The orbital eccentricity of an orbit describes its shape. An eccentricity close to 1 indicates a highly - elongated ellipse. When eccentricity is 0, the orbit is a circle. As the value approaches 1, the ellipse becomes more stretched out.

Answer:

Its orbit is a highly elongated ellipse
