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.

What is the ellipse of an oval?

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.
