Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents
The factual accuracy of this diagram or the file name is disputed.
Reason: The animation is inaccurate in that the speed is constant (no notable difference between the aphelion and the perihelion), the tail size does not change relevantly in size, and it's too quick, all of which can lead to confusion.

For usage see: {{disputed diagram|why}}
