Suns gravity keeps what in an oval shaped orbit?
The sun does not "keep" the planets in an ellipse orbit but only that it is so because the odds of a celestial body having a perfectly circular orbit are very small. But yes all the planets do have ellipticall orbits of varying eccintricities. There are laws that govern planetary orbits devised by Johannes Kepler. For more info look up Johannes Kelper's Laws of Plantery Orbits.
