Answer:

The eccentricity of an ellipse refers to how flat or round the shape of the ellipse is. The more flattened the ellipse is, the greater the value of its eccentricity. The more circular, the smaller the value or closer to zero is the eccentricity. The eccentricity ranges between one and zero.
