Venus currently has the most <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle" class="extiw" title="en:Circle">circular</a> orbit of the planets, but in 25,000 years Earth will have a more circular (less eccentric) orbit than Venus.
Note were the arrows point as the the Y axis uses two different scales.
