概要
Description (English)
Raytraced image showing the argument of the periapsis for a "minor" object in an elliptic orbit around a larger object.
Legend
Letters in the image denote:
- A – Minor, orbiting body
- B – Major body being orbited by A
- C – Reference plane, e.g. the en:ecliptic
- D – Orbital plane of A
- E – Ascending node
- F – Periapsis
- ω – Argument of the periapsis
The red line is the line of apsides; going through the periapsis (F) and apoapsis (H); this line coincides wíth the major axix in the elliptical shape of the orbit
The green line is the node line; going through the ascending (G) and descending node (E); this is where the reference plane (C) intersects the orbital plane (D).
Raytacing
This image was created using the Persistence of Vision Raytracer and the scene description code found on the page image:Angular Parameters of Elliptical Orbit.png, using View=1 as described on that page.
Beskrivelse (Dansk)

- D – Baneplan for A's omløb
- E – Opstigende knude
- F – Periapsis
- ω – Periapsisargument
Raytracing
