No planet's orbit is a perfect circle. They are all ellipses.
The extent to which Mars' orbit differs from a perfect circle is called eccentricity. It measures how elongated or stretched out the orbit is compared to a perfect circle.
A circle is an ellipse, so it's elliptical either way.However, the orbit of Mars is not a perfect circle.
The eccentricity of a planet's orbit describes how elliptical (or non-circular) the orbit is. It is a measure of how much the orbit deviates from a perfect circle. A value of 0 represents a perfect circle, while values closer to 1 indicate a more elongated orbit.
Mars's orbit is more elliptical than all the eight major planets except Mercury. This enabled Kepler to discover that the orbit was elliptical and not as previously thought a circle with the Sun offset from the centre (represented by a circle and an epicycle with the centre of the epicycle travelling round the circle, and the planet positioned on the epicycle).
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.

Mercury has the most elliptical orbit among the planets in our solar system. Its orbit is significantly elongated, with the eccentricity of 0.2056, which means that it deviates the most from a perfect circle compared to other planets.
No.
Kelper determined that the orbit of Mars orbit is not a circle but an ellipse.
there is no diameter for a diameter must have a full circle, and Mars has an elliptical orbit.

its orbit is not perfect circle, but is most eccentric of all planets,having eccentricity of 0.21 eccentricity means,the amount by which its orbit varies from perfect circle. 0 means circle and 1 means parabola. so mercury's eccentricity(0.21) is between circle and parabola, in fact, more closer to circle
Jupiter does not orbit the sun in a perfect circle

None of the planets orbit the sun perfectly in a circle, there is a degree of deviation from this perfect circle called eccentricity. The higher the eccentricity (more more the eccentric the orbit is) the further away from this perfect circle the orbit is. The planet that deviates most from a perfect circle, having the highest eccentricity, is Neptune. Neptune also has the highest axial tilt, tilted over onto its side as it orbits the sun.
