Default The eccentricity constant of solar objects

The eccentricity constant of solar objects

The eccentricity constant X of solar objects can be calculated by the formula
.5*sqrt(4-3(a-b)^2/(a+b)^2) where a = the semi major axis and b = the semi minor axis.
The eccentricity constant X of nine planets is equal to 1.0 as follows:

semi major axis a semi minor axis b
