False. The term is elliptical. Eclipse is what happens when planets and moons pass in front of one another or the sun.
False. The shape of the orbit of each planet is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. This is described by Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion, which states that planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one of the foci. While some orbits may appear nearly circular, they are not perfectly circular.
Elliptical
If you mean the shape of the orbit, that's an ellipse.
The shape of a plant's orbit around the sun is generally elliptical, meaning it is an elongated circle. This shape allows the planet to move closer to and farther away from the sun at different points in its orbit.
It means that it moves around the planet, along a path (orbit) that has the shape of an ellipse.
The shape of a planet's orbit is elliptical.
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.

False. The shape of the orbit of each planet is an ellipse, not a perfect circle.

While some orbits may appear nearly circular, they are not perfectly circular.
An elipsis
This orbit is called an ellipse. An oval shape.
Elliptical
The shape of the orbit of each planet is an ellipse. An ellipse is a geometric shape that is like a flattened circle. The Sun is located at one of the foci of the ellipse, not at the center.
It varies from planet to planet. But most planets including our own, orbit the star in an elliptical motion.
The size of the planet along with the gravitational force within the planet.
