Quoting Wikipedia: The spacecraft was placed in a 525 km (326 mi), circular, polar, sun-synchronous orbit for its 10 month mission, during which it has taken 1.5 million images, one every 11 seconds.
The polar orbit so that it can measure cold and hot points around the entire earth :)
It was launched into an elliptical low earth orbit.

Its a centripetal force, whose origin/source is gravitation.
The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.
it orbit's clock wise
Elliptical.

elliptical
Yes. They orbit the Sun and as per Kepler's first law they follow an elliptical path. Do note that a circular orbit is a special type of elliptical orbit.
They all orbit our sun in the counter clock wise direction as viewed from above our north pole.
equatorial orbit
main sequence
An orbit can have an eccentricity greater than 1. It is the type of orbit that an object has when it comes in from outer space at high speed on a single encounter with the Sun before it disappears off into interstellar space again. This type of orbit is called a hyperbola, and it is the fourth type of conic section along with the circle, the ellipse and the parabola.
