Yes.
probably the sun since one of earths eliptical foci is the sun
Earth's orbit around the sun is fairly typical compared to other planets in our solar system. It follows an elliptical path, with the sun at one of the foci. The shape and orientation of Earth's orbit contribute to the changing seasons and variations in solar intensity.
Most orbits are elliptical; all NATURAL orbits are. There are two foci, or focuses, to an ellipse. The distance between the foci determines how eccentric, or non-circular, they are. If the two foci are in the same place, then the ellipse becomes a circle. So a circular orbit would have only one focus.
The shape of the orbit of each planet is an ellipse. An ellipse is a geometric shape that is like a flattened circle. The Sun is located at one of the foci of the ellipse, not at the center.
A revolution: The Earth revolves in an elliptical (oval) orbit around the Sun. This orbit is planetary; the Sun is a star, and a large object that orbits a star is known as a planet.

The path of the Earth's orbit is an ellipse. The Sun is positioned at one of the two foci of the ellipse.
Objects such as planets move around the Sun in ellipses; the Sun is at ONE of the foci of the ellipse. The other focus has no special significance in astronomy.
The path of the Earth around the sun is called its orbit. This orbit is elliptical in shape, with the sun located at one of the two foci of the ellipse.

The Sun located at one of the two foci of Earth's elliptical orbital path is our own Sun, Sol. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets orbit the Sun in an elliptical shape, with the Sun situated at one focal point. The other focal point in this elliptical orbit is empty and has no physical significance in terms of celestial bodies.
The scientific name for the path of a planet around the sun is an orbit. The shape of this path can be an ellipse, with the sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse.

Earth's orbit is an ellipse; the Sun is at one of the ellipses focal points. (The other focal point has no astronomical significance.)
The primary body, earth, is at the foci point closest to the pedigree. At the pedigree the radius is shorter than it is at the apogee.
