It's an ellipse, but unless you have very good eyes, it's difficult to tell it from a perfect circle.

Earths Orbit? Earths Orbit?
Earth's orbit around the sun is fairly typical compared to other planets in our solar system. It follows an elliptical path, with the sun at one of the foci. The shape and orientation of Earth's orbit contribute to the changing seasons and variations in solar intensity.
Earth's eccentricity Eccentricity is defined as the difference in shape between an ellipse and a perfect circle. In a similar fashion to Earth's obliquity, the more uniform Earth's orbit is (more like a perfect circle), the less difference there is in climate change throughout the year.

Mercury's orbit, like all planet's, is elliptical.The eccentricity of Mercury's orbit is 0.206
The path of Earth's orbit in the shape of an elongated closed curve is called an ellipse. An ellipse is a type of geometric shape that resembles an elongated circle, with two focal points inside the curve. This shape is a result of the gravitational forces between Earth and the Sun.
