Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "planet eccentricity orbit" to get these possible sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_eccentricity
http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/physical_science/physics/mechanics/orbit/eccentricity.html
http://ask.reference.com/web?q=Planet+Eccentricity&qsrc=2892&l=dir&o=10601
(Broken Link Removed)
In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Is there a direct relationship between the eccentricity of its orbit and the distance a planet is from the sun?
