e=0.25

Answer 1

The least eccentric orbit among the given options is the one with an eccentricity (e) of 0.001.

In general, an eccentricity of 0 indicates a perfect circular orbit, while values closer to 1 represent more elongated (elliptical) orbits. Thus, the smaller the value of e, the less eccentric the orbit is. Therefore, e=0.001 is the least eccentric orbit.
