In one word 'YES'.

The paths that you describe are the planets orbits.

These orbits are shaped like 'Ellipsoids'., that is an ellipse that doesn't quite close-up , but overloops with every circuit.

The Sun lies not at the centre of the ellipsoid, but at one of the foci. As a consequence planets following their orbits paths speed up (Nearest the Sun) and slow down (Furthest from the Sun).
