True. A highly eccentric orbit, like that of a comet, typically has an eccentricity value significantly greater than 0, often approaching 1. Eccentricity values range from 0 (circular orbit) to just below 1 (parabolic trajectory). Therefore, the statement that a highly eccentric orbit will have an eccentricity of 0 is false.
