EVERY orbit is elliptical.
100km X 30km are ELEVATIONS, meaning the real orbit is diameter of Moon + 100km X diameter of Moon + 30km.
If you had this scaled and drawn on a sheet of you would need very accurate instrument to detect any deviation from perfect circle.
- mywittyname 7y ago> real orbit is diameter of Moon + 100km X diameter of Moon + 30km. 3,574km X 3,504km That helped me a bit.
- lmilcin 7y agoSo maybe not so precise instrument, but still, if this was 15cm ellipse the difference would be about 1mm.
- yumraj 7y agoYes, that makes sense. 100km x 30km orbit around moon, what was I thinking - facepalm (－‸ლ)
