Homework Statement
Hey, i used Runge-kutta 4 algorithm to solve the equation of motion (earth/sun) but the graph i get it s wrong,i thought my algorithm was wrong so i used Verlet algorithm but i had the same probleme

does it change the results ? i don't think so?what do u mean?
the probleme i must get an elliptique shape not this
 
this graph is for x axes and y axes
