Not much would change. Note that the seasons are NOT related to changes in the distance from the Sun.

Does the moon have a circular or elliptical orbit around the earth?

An elliptical orbit
Is mars orbit elliptical or circular?
A circle is an ellipse, so it's elliptical either way.However, the orbit of Mars is not a perfect circle.
What has elliptical orbits?
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.
Why your planets revolve in elliptical orbit rather than circular orbit?
Circular orbits are unstable; any outside influence (i.e. other planets) will distort them. Elliptical orbits are self adjusting.
Is Pluto the only body in the solar system with an elliptical orbit?
No, everything in orbit around the sun has an elliptical orbit, some are just closer to being in a circular orbit than others.
