What is the name of the two centers of an ellipse?
The two centers of an ellipse are called the foci (singular: focus). The foci are two distinct points along the major axis of the ellipse, and the sum of the distances from any point on the ellipse to these two foci is constant. Additionally, the center of the ellipse, which is the midpoint between the foci, is another important point but is distinct from the foci themselves.
