Definition von semimajor axis im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

Half of the major axis of a circle or ellipse

Half of the distances between the two branches of a hyperbola

one-half the major axis of an ellipse; the distance from the center of an ellipse to one end

One half of the major axis of an ellipse

One-half of the longest dimension of an ellipse

The semimajor axis of an ellipse is half of the maximum diameter

semi = [Latin] half; maior = [Latin] great; axis = [Latin] axis The semimajor axis is one of the orbital elements that determine the shape and orientation of a simple orbit in space It is a measure for the size of the orbit of a celestial object For an ellipse, it is equal to one half of the length of the longest axis of the ellipse For a circle, it is equal to the radius of the circle For an object orbiting around a much heavier object (such as a planet or spacecraft around the Sun, or a moon or spacecraft around a planet), the semimajor axis of the orbit is equal to the average of the smallest and the largest distance between the light and the heavy objects

half of the longest axis of an ellipse

a property of an ellipse, giving its width measured along the line connecting its two foci The semi-major axis of an orbital ellipse is one of the "orbital elements" characterizing it, and is directly related to the energy of the motion

a property of an ellipse, equal to half its greatest width, as measured along the line connecting its two foci The semi-major axis of an orbital ellipse is one of the "orbital elements" characterizing it, and is directly related to the energy of the motion

One-half of the major axis or an ellipse

One-half the longest diameter of an ellipse

Half the major axis of an ellipse For a planetary orbit, it represents the body's average distance from the Sun
