What is the difference between an ellipse and an oval?

A circle is perfectly round and an ellipse is oval.

An elipse is like a circle that is a bit flattened. an ellipse is an oval.

ellipse are added hyperbola are subtracted

it is shaped like an ellipse and that's pretty much and oval

It is called an oval - which is not the same as an ellipse.

An elliptical oval (if that is what you meant) is a tautology. An oval and ellipse are the same thing - a "squashed" circle.

An oval. Or an ellipse.

Circle and an ellipse (oval).

Basically a circle has a constant radius throughout and an ellipse does not. a circle has a constant radius an ellipse has two foci. they are at either end of the ellipse

In geometry an oval or ovoid is any shape resembling an egg. It could be an ellipse, but is not really an ellipse. The term is not well defined.

Answers could include an ellipse, an oval (a type of ellipse) or even a sphere.

In contrast, for an ellipse it is the ''sum'' of these distances that is a constant

I think you mean an ellipse.

A circle has a constant radius whereas an oval does not.

Most things orbit in an elliptical pattern. There is a technical definition of an ellipse but between you and me it is an oval.

No, the graph of an oval/ellipse is not a function because it does not pass the vertical line test.

Ellipse is a term for an oval. Specifically it is a shape where the sum of the distance of every point on the ellipse to two points, called the foci, is equal.

An ellipse is a shape on which the sum of the distances from every point to two points inside called the foci (focuses) is always the same number. A circle is an ellipse with both foci (focuses) at the same point.

An oval. An ellipse, actually, which is sort of like an oval.

An eclipse is when the moon or sun block each other out. An ellipse is a mathmaticle geomotry tearm that has to do with curves.

A sphere is three-dimensional whereas an ellipse is two-dimensional. An ellipse can have an oval shape but a cross section of a sphere is always circular.

They are usually an ellipse, which is a regular oval shape.

There is an orbit that makes an oval shape called an ellipse

The correct spelling is oval (an ellipse or egg shape).

An ellipse uses addition and a hyperbola uses subtraction. Ellipse: x2/a + y2/b = 1 Hyperbola: x2/a - y2/b = 1
