The difference, major or not, is that an eclipse and a hyperbola are not related, at all.
You might have meant to say "Ellipse". In that case, an ellipse is a closed line shape of which the left and right bouts are symmetrical and the top and bottom bouts are also symmetrical. A hyperbola can never close, and only its left and right parts are symmetrical.

Both the ellipse and the hyperbola has an x squared and a y squared term. In the ellipse, they are both positive. In the hyperbola, one of them is negative. Example: 3x^2 /36 + 5y^2 / 64 = 1 (ellipse) 3x^2 / 36 - 5y^2 / 64 = 1 (hyperbola)
The major axis is the axis that cuts, or goes between the two vertices of the hyperbola. The minor axis is perpendicular to the major axis and is an axis of symmetry. If the hyperbola is defined by: x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2=1 where x^2 is x squared. Then the major axis is 2a units long, and the minor axis is 2b units long.
