A circle is perfectly round and an ellipse is oval.
-- the eccentricity or -- the distance between the foci or -- the ratio of the major and minor axes
Basically a circle has a constant radius throughout and an ellipse does not.a circle has a constant radiusan ellipse has two foci. they are at either end of the ellipse
ellipse are added hyperbola are subtracted
In contrast, for an ellipse it is the ''sum'' of these distances that is a constant

The simple answer is that an ellipse is a squashed circle.A more precise answer is that an ellipse is the locus (a collection) of points such that the sum of their distances from two fixed points (called foci) remains a constant. A circle is the locus of points that are all the same distance from a fixed point. If the two foci are moved closer together, the ellipse becomes more and more like a circle and finally, when they coincide, the ellipse becomes a circle. So, a circle is a special case of an ellipse.
