Another name for an ellipse is an "oval." While the term "oval" is often used informally to describe shapes that are rounded and elongated, mathematically, an ellipse is a specific type of oval defined by its geometric properties, such as the sum of the distances from any point on the curve to two foci being constant.
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.
Another term for an ellipse is an "oval." In mathematics, it can also be described as a conic section, specifically one that is formed by the intersection of a plane and a cone. An ellipse is characterized by its two focal points, and the sum of the distances from any point on the ellipse to these foci is constant.

This shape is called a lens, a biconvex shape comprising two circular arcs, joined at their endpoints. Loosely, it could be said to be an ellipse.
The scientific name for the path of a planet around the sun is an orbit. The shape of this path can be an ellipse, with the sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse.
