The Earth makes an elliptical orbit around the Sun, not a circular orbit.

The names Earth and Sun are proper names for our planet and star, so they usually get a capital letter.

What is one complete orbit called? A "siderial period". And the time it takes: one year.

Can our earth orbit other stars like pollux aldabaran ancturus betegulese and other?

No, Earth is specifically bound to its orbit around the Sun due to the gravitational pull between the two. The distances to other stars like Pollux, Aldebaran, Arcturus, and Betelgeuse are far too vast for Earth to establish an orbit around them. Earth's orbit is stable around the Sun within our own solar system.
