Most planetary orbits are elliptical.
ORBIT
The path the planets take around the sun, is called a orbit.
An orbit is the path of a planet, star, or satellite through space around another object. The path the orbit is simply the orbit.
circuitous path orbit
The circular path is known as an orbit.

Well, I would say its orbit is elliptical.
If the revolving continues for more than a few revolutions, then its path is an elliptical orbit. In space, orbiting cannot take place in a circular path, and the balance point between flying off into space, crashing into the bigger object, or staying in orbit only occurs in an ellipse. It doesn't have to be much of an ellipse, either.
Some planets take longer to orbit the sun because they are farther away giving them a longer path to travel.
