		From Doug: Specifically, what is the subject distance for the Earth orbiting for 27 days. Assume the orbit of the Earth to be a circle have a 93 million mile radius. Assume the angle of arc to be (27/365) x 360 degrees. Thank you. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Eccentricity of an Elliptical Orbit		2008-08-20
		From Gina: A satellite has an elliptical orbit around the earth with one focus at the earth’s center, E. The earth’s radius is 4,000 miles. The highest point that the satellite is from the surface of the earth is 800 miles, and the lowest is 200 miles. What is the eccentricity of the satellite’s orbit? Answered by Janice Cotcher.
