Foci, (the plural of focus), are a pair of points used in determining conic sections. They always fall on the major axis of symmetry of a conic. For example, in a circle, there is only one focus, the centerpoint. Every distance from the focus to any other point on the circle will be the same. In a parabola, the distance from any point of the parabola to the focus equals the distance from the centerpoint to the directrix. In a hyperbola, the difference of the distances between a point on the hyperbola and the focus points will be constant, and in an ellipse, the sum of the distances from any point on the ellipse to one of the foci is constant.
The answer depends on whether they are the foci of an ellipse or a hyperbola.
As the foci of an ellipse move closer together, the eccentricity of the ellipse decreases. Eccentricity is a measure of how elongated the ellipse is, defined as the ratio of the distance between the foci to the length of the major axis. When the foci are closer, the ellipse becomes more circular, resulting in a lower eccentricity value, approaching zero as the foci converge to a single point.
-- If they're the foci of a single optical system, then the result can't be stated in general.It depends on the curvatures and relative position of the lenses.-- If they're both the foci of the same ellipse, then the ellipse becomes more eccentric.That is, more squashed and less circular.-- If they're the foci of two parabolas, then there's no relationship between them, andnothing in particular depends on the distance between them.The answer depends on whether they are the foci of an ellipse or a hyperbola.

By definition, foci are the centres of interest or activity and so are important.

The answer depends on whether they are the foci of an ellipse or a hyperbola.
No. Both foci are always inside the ellipse, otherwise you don't have an ellipse.

Most orbits are elliptical; all NATURAL orbits are. There are two foci, or focuses, to an ellipse. The distance between the foci determines how eccentric, or non-circular, they are. If the two foci are in the same place, then the ellipse becomes a circle. So a circular orbit would have only one focus.
