In mathematics, the eccentricity of a conic section is a non-negative real number that uniquely characterizes its shape.
All types of conic sections, arranged with increasing eccentricity. Note that curvature decreases with eccentricity, and that none of these curves intersect.
More formally two conic sections are similar if and only if they have the same eccentricity.
One can think of the eccentricity as a measure of how much a conic section deviates from being circular. In particular:
The eccentricity of a circle is zero.
The eccentricity of an ellipse which is not a circle is greater than zero but less than 1.
The eccentricity of a parabola is 1.
The eccentricity of a hyperbola is greater than 1.
