Essentially, there are two major divisions in orbit types; there are circular and there are elliptical orbits. Circular orbits comprise: geostationary, polar, sun-synchronous, and equatorial orbits. Highly elliptical orbits come in all different shapes and sizes. Orbits of different shapes have different eccentricities.
