The outside of the circle is always the same distance from the centre. The outside of an ellipse is not the same distance from the centre all the way round.
Yes; the circle is a special case of an ellipse.

No. A circle is a special kind of ellipse.
"Elliptical" means they look like ellipses.
Johannes Kepler
two circles and an ellipse
As the foci of an ellipse move closer together, the ellipse becomes more circular in shape. When the foci coincide, the shape is a circle. Note that circles are a subset of ellipses.
The path is called an orbit, and it's shaped like an ellipse.
An ellipse, or egg-shaped. Orbits are not very egg-shaped, though . . . they are almost circles.
Ben drew an ellipse as a plane curve with edges not parallel to its axis.
A sphere is three-dimensional whereas an ellipse is two-dimensional. An ellipse can have an oval shape but a cross section of a sphere is always circular.
An ellipse is the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance from two fixed points is the same. The shape is like a stretched circle but its circumference does not become a straight line.An oval is an imprecise term for all kinds of "stretched" circles. The word is derived from ova = egg so an oval could have the shape of the cross section of an egg; it could be an ellipse or it could be like a running track, which consists of two semi-circles with parallel straight sections.
