An ellipse, like any planet. In the case of Earth (and the other planets in the Solar System), the ellipse is quite close to a circle (in math/astronomy terms, the ellipse has a low eccentricity).
Most planets have elliptical orbits around the Sun. These orbits are slightly elongated circles, with the planet closer to the Sun at one end (perihelion) and farther away at the other end (aphelion).
because of the gravity the sun has and also the planets have gravity turning around the sun
Kepler's 1st law states that the orbits of the planets around the sun and makes an ellipse. This is taught in astronomy.
around the sun, not the earth.
Planets are held in their orbits by the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force is what allows planets to stay in motion around the sun without flying off into space or falling into the sun.
Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.

the orbits
The force of gravity between the planets and the sun is what keeps the planets in their orbits. Gravity pulls the planets towards the sun, but their forward velocity keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.
Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits. These orbits are elongated and follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which describe the shape and dynamics of the planetary orbits.

The planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in elliptical paths. Each planet follows its own unique orbit based on its distance from the Sun and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The orbits are roughly aligned along the same plane known as the ecliptic.
They have their own orbits, around the star they formed around, just like how our planet orbits our sun.
