No. day and night are the product of the planet's rotation only,

regardless of where it is in its orbit, or how far from the sun.

To be precise, there is a very small effect. The elliptical orbit causes slight variations in the position of the Sun in the sky.

Our 24 hour day is called the "solar day". It's based on the position of the Sun in our sky.

24 hours is the average (or mean) day length.

It's called the "mean solar day".

Does mars orbit the sun in a circle shape?

No. A circle is an unstable shape for an object orbiting another. An orbit is between slightly and very elliptical (egg-shaped). If an object is placed in a circular orbit, the orbit will quickly deteriorate to an elliptical orbit. Added: Mar's elliptical eccentricity is rather above average for a planetary orbit. Not quite as large as Mercury, but large enough.

The shape of the Earth's orbit is elliptical, meaning it is slightly oval-shaped. This elliptical orbit causes the distance between the Earth and the Sun to vary slightly throughout the year, which is why we experience seasons.
