The shape of the Earth's orbit as it revolves around the Sun is an ellipse. This is a shape consisting of all points on a plane whose distances from two reference points (called foci, singular focus) add up to a given number. In every orbital ellipse, the body orbited (in the Earth's case, the Sun) is located at one of the foci.
