"Ellipse" is a noun.
An oval. Or an ellipse.
That's the definition of an ellipse.
Dots on an ellipse are commonly referred to as "points." In a more specific mathematical context, these points can represent various aspects such as the foci of the ellipse, which are two fixed points used in its definition. Additionally, points on the perimeter of the ellipse can be described in terms of their coordinates based on the ellipse's equation.
In Part B, I discovered that the sums of the distances from any point on the ellipse to the two foci, A and B, remain constant. This constant sum is equal to the major axis length of the ellipse. This property reinforces the definition of an ellipse and illustrates its unique geometric characteristics. Overall, it highlights the relationship between the foci and the shape of the ellipse.
It is the locus of points such that the sum of their distance from two distinct fixed points is a constant.
Most things orbit in an elliptical pattern. There is a technical definition of an ellipse but between you and me it is an oval.
One definition is that it is the locus of a point such that the sum of its distances from two fixed points (the foci) is a constant. There are several equivalent forms in coordinate geometry. Once the ellipse has been centred on the orign (using translations), (x/a)2 + (y/b)2 = 1 or x2 + (ey)2 = c2
In CAD, an ellipse is typically represented as a true conic section rather than a four-circle ellipse. A true conic section is defined mathematically as the set of points where the sum of the distances to two focal points is constant. While some CAD systems may approximate an ellipse using arcs of circles for convenience, the most accurate representation adheres to the geometric definition of an ellipse as a conic section.

A real-life example of an ellipse is the path that some heavenly bodies travel in space. Earth's path around the sun is elliptical.Informally, a flattened circle. You can read the Wikipedia article for a more formal definition, as well as to investigate its different properties.
The set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant. - APEX
