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.

Orbit
Earth's moon is located approximately 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) away from Earth in space. It orbits around Earth in a slightly elliptical path, which takes about 27.3 days to complete a full orbit.
Orbital Notation is a way to show how many electrons are in an orbital for a given element.
Planets have elliptical orbits around the sun.
The path of the Earth's orbit is an ellipse. The Sun is positioned at one of the two foci of the ellipse.
elliptical.
FOCI
The Sun located at one of the two foci of Earth's elliptical orbital path is our own Sun, Sol. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets orbit the Sun in an elliptical shape, with the Sun situated at one focal point. The other focal point in this elliptical orbit is empty and has no physical significance in terms of celestial bodies.
A planet's orbit around the sun is in the shape of an oval.
Earth's orbital path around the Sun is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. This means that Earth's distance from the Sun varies slightly throughout the year. The shape of the orbit is very close to a circle, with the eccentricity being only 0.0167.
The Orbital Path of Jupiter is Elliptical
The Orbital Path of Mars is circle.
FOCI
eliptical
The Earth's orbital path is technically an ellipse with the Sun at one focus. The eccentricity of the ellipse is 1/60 which is quite small. A good approximation for the orbit is to consider it as a simple circle but with the Sun at a distance of 2.5 million km away from the centre. So the Earth's distance varies from 147.1 to 152.1 millon km with a mean value of 149.6 million km. The Earth is closest in the first week in January.
