Eccentricity is the measure of how much a figure deviates from being circular. In an orbit, a less circular one will be more elliptical.
Explanation:
Eccentricity is the measure of how much a figure deviates from being circular. By increasing the eccentricity, an orbit will be more elliptical and by decreasing eccentricity, the orbit will be more circular.
