📖 Key Information
In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of both distances to the two focal points is a constant. It generalizes a circle, which is the special type of ellipse in which the two focal points are the same. The elongation of an ellipse is measured by its eccentricity
e
{\displaystyle e}
, a number ranging from
e
=
0
{\displaystyle e=0}
(the limiting case of a circle) to
e
=
1
{\displaystyle e=1}
(the limiting case of infinite elongation, no longer an ellipse but a parabola).
