Summary

Description
English: Plot of eccentricity e vs en:semi-major axis a for numbered en:asteroids inward of about 6 AU. The en:main belt is shown in red and blue, and contains 98.5% of all the objects. Within this, the "core" region between the 4:1 and 2:1 en:Kirkwood gaps, and at moderate inclinations and eccentricities is shown in red. It contains 93.4% of all the objects.

For reference, en:Mars orbits out to 1.666 AU, and en:Jupiter between 4.95 and 5.46 AU.

The diagram was created by me (Piotr Deuar) using orbit data for 120437 numbered minor planets from the Minor Planet Center orbit databse, dated 8 Feb 2006.
