They are both considered as "conic sections". If you take a cone and slice it slightly slanted, you get an ellipse. In the case of parabolas, if you cut off a side (not the tip) vertically, you end up with a parabola.
some examples of a parabola are: bridges, McDonald's arches, skateboard ramps, satellite dish, smiles ... and some more
A point has no dimensions.A line, ray or segment is one dimensional.Squares, circles, rectangles, ellipses, parabolas, etc. have two dimensions.Cubes, spheres, cylinders, polyhedrons, etc. have three dimensions.
Ellipses are not circles.
Parabolas are used in real life in light reflectors on cars to create a concentrated beam of intense light. Braking distance and stopping distance are quadratic formulas so their graphs are parabolas. A ball in motion in space has a path of a parabola.
Never
--actually they are used in real life. parabolas are seen in "parabolic microphones" or satellites. and there are others for both ellipses and hyperbolas.
ellipses, parabolas, or hyperbolas. :)
The types of conic sections are circles, parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses.
Circles, parabolas, ellipses,and hyperbolas are called conic sections because you can get those shapes by placing two cones - one on top of the other - with only the tip touching, and then you cut those cones by a plane. When you move that plane around you get different shapes. If you want to see an illustration of these properties, click on the link below on the related links section.

Circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas are all conic sections. Out of these conic sections, the circle and ellipse are the ones which define a closed curve.
Linear graphs make straight lines. Non-linear graphs make thins like parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses.
Conic Sections are figures that can be formed by slicing a three dimensional right circular cone with a plane. There are different ways to do this, and each way yields a different figure. These figures can be represented on the graph as well as algebraically. The four conic sections are circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas.

Parabolas are used in satalights and flash lights and archiceture and maths, whoever wrote eggs is very wrong parabolas ends never meet * * * * * All very true. The only problem is that a parabola is not an ellipse! One of the main uses for an ellipse is to describe planetary orbits.

Maybe you mean connics? Conics are shape of graphs. They get their name because they are all parts of a cone sliced in different directions. Some examples are lines, parabolas, hyperbolas, circles, ellipses, points...
