In elliptical orbit of a planet

An artificial satellite is in an elliptical orbit around the earth with aphelion of 6R and perihelion of 2R where R is radius of the earth =6400 km . Calculate the eccentricity of the elliptical orbit.

Assertion : Even when orbit of a satellite is elliptical, its plane of rotation passes through the centre of earth. Reason: According to law of conservation of angular momentum plane of rotation of satellite always remin same.

For a satellite in elliptical orbit which of the following quantities does not remain constant ?
