Variance from mean distance denotes an acceleration as kinetic and potential energies are interchanged.

If a satellite is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, the Earth will be at one of the focii. The speed of the satellite will then constantly be changing. It will move the fastest when it is nearest to the Earth (perigee) and slowest when it is furthest away (apogee).
As an elliptical orbit is any orbit that isn't perfectly circular, everything has an elliptical orbit. The planets Mercury and Pluto have the most elliptical orbits of the planets, and are easily seen to be oval shaped. Comets also have highly elliptical orbits.
All the planets move with an elliptical orbit, but with a very low eccentricity.
Mars has the most elliptical orbit. The earth's is almost a perfect circle
A satellite in an elliptical orbit gains speed as it draws closer to the central body and loses speed as it moves farther away from the central body.
If the path is perfectly circular, yes, the speed is constant. This should not be confused with the velocity, because while speed is constant, its direction is not; therefore velocity is always changing.
Apogee is the point at which a satellite in an elliptical orbit is At its apogee, the satellite travels slower than at any other point in its orbit.
A satellite's orbit is just the path it follows around the Earth or some other planet.Satellites' orbits can be elliptical or circular.
A satellite in a closed orbit has the greatest speed when it's closest to the planet, and the lowest speed when it's farthest from the planet.
Yes. Gravity affects EVERYTHING.
An apolune is the point of an elliptical lunar orbit where the distance between the satellite and the Moon is at its maximum.

Yes, the mission was designed to Orbit a satellite. for example. The word orbit can be either a noun or a verb. As a noun, the orbit of the Earth is elliptical. As a verb, the planets orbit the sun.

it is made to follow an elliptical orbit to make it spend its time more in the visible sky.
