 Elliptical Orbit in a Polar Form (10.6 p745 #59)  Not only do we answer the question at hand, we derive the polar form of a conic section.If you want to skip ahead: Minute 5:45 Finding the distance between the surface of Earth and Explorer 18 when the angle is 60 degreesMinute 12:53 Proof that e = c/a = 2c/2a=(distance between focii/major axis)
