Orbits

by Lewis Carroll

Orbits – Somatoform anomaly. The degree of the angle between the segment that connects the central body to the satellite and the major axis of the orbit. An anomaly is counted in the direction of movement of the satellite.
Enlarged half-axis
This is about half of the largest length – the widest axis of the elliptical orbit.
An ascending node is an ascending node
The point at which the satellite’s orbit connects to the selected plane in its central body. Being in it, the body moves to the northern hemisphere. In addition, you can see the inclination here.
The apse line
This line connects the pericenter and apocenter of the orbit. This is consistent with the semi-major axis (see here) of the elliptical orbit.
Designation of nodes
The line that connects the ascending node and the descending node (see here) in orbit.
A small semi-axis
This part is about half the length of the shortest axis of the elliptical orbit.
Addition and inclination
The degree of the angle between the plane of the satellite’s orbit and the selected plane in its central body. This angle is located between the angle between the plane of the ecliptic and the orbit of the planet, as well as between the plane of the orbit of its satellite and the plane of the planetary equator.
A thin and non-crossing knot
The point at which the satellite’s orbit connects to the selected plane in its central body. It moves the body to the southern hemisphere. In addition, you can see the inclination here.
At the moment, the appeal period is passing.
The average time it takes for a satellite in orbit to complete a complete revolution around its center.
Eccentricity or centrality
If we consider a special case, then with values of eccentricity greater than zero and less than one, the eccentricity is a measure of the elongation of the ellipse. How is it defined? It is defined as the result of dividing the distance from the center of the ellipse to its point of focus by the length of the greater half-axis of the ellipse.
Also, the eccentricity can take values that range from zero to infinity. At zero eccentricity, ellipses have a weak elongation and are close to a circle. The distance between the center and the focus at zero eccentricity is zero, which means that they coincide and the ellipse turns into a circle. When the eccentricities are close to one, the ellipses have a strongly elongated shape, and when the eccentricity increases to one, the shape of the ellipse becomes hyperbola.”
