The motion of the planets are elliptical motions
A body in orbit around a planet is called a satellite.
A planet's farthest point from the sun in its orbit is called aphelion. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun.
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
The journey a planet makes around the sun is called its orbit.
A year. Each planet in a solar system has a year of different length, equal to the time it takes for one complete orbit around its sun.
Each planet has one orbit that is just called the orbit of . . . .
A body in orbit around a planet is called a satellite.
One complete orbit of a planet around the sun is called a revolution.

A planet's farthest point from the sun in its orbit is called aphelion. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun.
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
Around its axis is a day. Around its orbit is a year.

This orbit is called an ellipse. An oval shape.
