Description	English: A diagram showing some basic properties of an ellipse, including The distance to a focus, F, from the centre C, is the eccentricity, e multiplied by the semimajor axis, a. The distance from one focus to the other via any point on the ellipse, P, is always 2a. The constant of proportionality is the eccentricity, e. *The eccentricity is always between 0 and 1. At zero, the ellispe becomes a circle, at 1 the ellipse becomes a parabola. Greater than one, it is a hyperbola.
