At eccentricity = 0 we get a circle For 0 < eccentricity < 1 we get an ellipse for eccentricity = 1 we get a parabola for eccentricity > 1 we get a hyperbola for infinite eccentricity we get a lineSHOW FULL ANSWER

For 0<e<1, the shape is ellipse, e=1 is parabola, e>1 is  hyperbola and e= infinite, we get a straight line.

What is eccentricity?

Eccentricity shows variation of a conic section (a circle, ellipse, parabola or hyperbola) from being circular to a straight line.

  • At eccentricity = 0, we get a circle
  • 0 < eccentricity < 1 we get an ellipse
  • eccentricity = 1,  we get a parabola
  • eccentricity > 1 we get a hyperbola,
  • infinite eccentricity, we get a line.

Thus, this way numerical value of "e" change as the shape of the ellipse approaches a straight line.
