Question

Why is it important that earths orbit is nearly circular?

This prevents massive temperature fluctuations that could occur with a more extremely elliptical orbit.

This allows for massive temperature fluctuations that occur with a more circular orbit.

This prevents massive temperature fluctuations that could occur with a more circular orbit.
