The actual shape of the earth's orbit around the sun is horrendously complicated. Partly because the earth does not orbit the sun and also because the orbit is influenced by the the gravitational attraction of the other planets. The earth does not orbit the sun: the centre of mass of the earth-sun system is at one of the foci of an ellipse whose eccentricity is 0.0167. The eccentricity varies from 0.0034 to 0.058.

Where is the sun located at one of the two in the shape of earths orbital path?
The Sun does not orbit the planets. The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is stationary with relation to the planets' motion. The Sun does, however, orbit the Milky Way galaxy, as do the planets and everything else in the galaxy.
