    • For reference a circular orbit with the same semi-major axis in grey
  • The orbit plotted in brighter colours above the ecliptic and darker below.
  • Major axis drawn showing perihelion (q) and aphelion (Q)
  • Mercury

    • For illustration the size of the sphere is inversley proportional to the distance from the Sun.
  • Orientation
    • The Sun in the center.
    • Yellow segment points toward the vernal point.
