Semi-major axis

In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the widest points of the perimeter. The semi-major axis is one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus, and to the perimeter. Essentially, it is the radius of an orbit at the orbit's two most distant points. For the special case of a circle, the semi-major axis is the radius. One can think of the semi-major axis as an ellipse's ''long radius''.
The length of the semi-major axis ''a'' of an ellipse is related to the semi-minor axis's length ''b'' through the eccentricity ''e'' and the semi-latus rectum ''ℓ'', as follows:
:b = a \sqrt,\,
:\ell=a(1-e^2),\,
:a\ell=b^2.\,
The semi-major axis of a hyperbola is, depending on the convention, plus or minus one half of the distance between the two branches. Thus it is the distance from the center to either vertex (turning point) of the hyperbola.
A parabola can be obtained as the limit of a sequence of ellipses where one focus is kept fixed as the other is allowed to move arbitrarily far away in one direction, keeping ''ℓ'' fixed. Thus a\,\! and b\,\! tend to infinity, ''a'' faster than ''b''.
==Ellipse==

The semi-major axis is the mean value of the smallest and largest distances from one focus to the ellipse. Now consider the equation in polar coordinates, with one focus at the origin and the other on the negative ''x''-axis,
: r(1+e\cos\theta)=\ell.\,
The mean value of r=}\,\!, (\text \theta = \pi \, \text \theta = 0) is
: a=.\,
In an ellipse, the semimajor axis is the geometric mean of the distance from the center to either focus and the distance from the center to either directrix.
