For Earthlings, Eccentricity is 0.01673

As a citizen of Planet Earth, you can be called an Earthling. For the purpose of cosmic communications, you can be identified as a biological being of the third planet in orbit to an average G2-type star that Earthlings call the Sun. This average star and all members of its system, called the solar system, are members of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is merely one of the thousands of galaxies in your universe. Your planet, the planet Earth, can be identified by its orbit with the Sun at a focus. (See Figure 1.)

Kepler's first law of planetary motion states that all the planets and other orbiting bodies of our solar system travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits.
