All orbits are elliptical. Orbitis the path of a body as it moves under the influence of a second body. An example is the path of a planet or comet as it moves around the Sun. Planets and satellites that orbit other bodies trace out a path called an ellipse. An ellipse is a closed curve wherein the sum of the distances from any point on the curve to two internal focal points is constant. In everyday life you probably just call this an oval or an egg-shape.
