Why has the orbit of Venus such a low eccentricity? The eccentricity of Venus is almost 14 times smaller than that of Mars, and 2.5 times smaller than that of Earth, and 30 times smaller than that of Mercury. Is it just a pure fluke? Or is there some “physical reasons”? I realize those are the ratios as of now, and that they change over time: will the evolution of those eccentricities dramatically change those ratios? If not, then the question of a “physical reason” emerges again.
It has a low eccentricity, but there may not be a particular reason.

In a simulation of the solar system, both Earth and Venus had orbital eccentricities that were much below those of Mars and Mercury (note the two axes. Mars and Mercury are on a scale that is 10 times bigger). But in 25000 years, Earth will actually have a smaller eccentricity, and 20000 years ago Venus's eccentricity was much larger.

So there may not need to be a special explanation for this. Planetary eccentricities do change over 1000s of years due mostly to perturbation of other planets.
