The best answer is: Because that's the way gravity works. If you take Newton's
brief, simple formula for the force of gravity, and massage it with calculus and
geometry, it turns out that every closed gravitational orbit must be elliptical.

An elliptical orbit is a type of gravitational path followed by an object around another object. It is not a perfect circle, but rather an elongated shape resembling an oval. The object in orbit travels closer to and farther away from the central body at different points along its path.
Yes.
The path that the Earth takes around the Sun is called its' orbit.
