Variable, as an ellipse is not a perfect circle.

That's a bit tricky. Each type of galaxy has a wide range of sizes, so you can't say, for example, that any elliptical galaxy is larger than any spiral galaxy - because they aren't - though I believe that elliptical galaxies do have a general tendency to be larger than the other types.
Yes. Although if you are measuring the diameter of an atom, or a galaxy, you might consider other units to be far more suitable.
Elliptical galaxies have an oval shape. An example is the Messier 87.
The cart is before the horse. Before an example can be cited, we need a definition of elliptical energy. Come back when you have that.
Circumference of a circle is pi * diameter. Diameter is 2 * radius. So if you know the radius, circumference is 2 * pi * radius. Now choose an appropriate approximation for pi (3.14, or 3.1416, or even the fraction 22/7), depending on your application. This will work for ANY circle, no matter how big or small it is, as long as it's a true circle and not a different elliptical shape, e.g. an oval.
