单词 ellipse
释义

Definition of ellipse in English:

ellipse

noun ɪˈlɪpsəˈlɪps
  • A regular oval shape, traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant, or resulting when a cone is cut by an oblique plane which does not intersect the base.

    椭圆

    Example sentencesExamples
    • For example he shows how to deform a circle into an ellipse and proves other results on deforming conic sections.
    • Additional liturgical areas are designed as concave spaces bulging the ellipse outwardly.
    • Well, he discovered, in the elliptical function, that the Sun was located at one of the two foci of the relevant ellipse.
    • Here we examine this in detail, first looking at the case of a circular toroid deformed into an ellipse.
    • An ellipse has two foci, i.e. two centres, unlike the circle that has just one.
    • The rate at which a planet sweeps out area within its orbital ellipse is constant.
    • The direction in which it spins, and the size and shape of the ellipse, give me information about the strength and quality of the energy in that area.
    • There are three non-degenerate conics: the ellipse, the parabola, and the hyperbola.

    • If the optical component to be machined is a mirror, and the object to be imaged with that mirror is located at a finite distance, the shape will be an ellipse.

    • But I could explain the discrepancy if the orbit were an ellipse rather than a circle.
    • In contrast, an oval or an ellipse is longer than it is wide.
    • The orbit of the Earth is an ellipse, not a circle, so different quarters of the orbit take different lengths of time to complete.

Origin
