In contrast, for an ellipse it is the ''sum'' of these distances that is a constant
Ellipse
An ellipse always has two axes of reflection; an oval has one or more.So, an egg-shape is an oval, but not an ellipse.In short an ellipse is an oval, but an oval may or may not be an ellipse.
An ellipse is a shape on which the sum of the distances from every point to two points inside called the foci (focuses) is always the same number. A circle is an ellipse with both foci (focuses) at the same point.

Ellipse
An ellipse is a flat, two-dimensional closed curve with the property that the sum of the distances from any point on the curve to two fixed points (foci) is constant. An oblate spheroid, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional shape formed by rotating an ellipse about its minor axis, resulting in a symmetrical, rounded shape with a bulging equator. In essence, an oblate spheroid is a three-dimensional version of an ellipse.

An eclipse occurs when one celestial body blocks the light from another, like a solar or lunar eclipse. An ellipse is a geometric shape that resembles an elongated circle, often used to describe the shape of orbits of planets and other celestial bodies.

-- the eccentricity or -- the distance between the foci or -- the ratio of the major and minor axes

The Antarctic Circlee
Both the ellipse and the hyperbola has an x squared and a y squared term. In the ellipse, they are both positive. In the hyperbola, one of them is negative. Example: 3x^2 /36 + 5y^2 / 64 = 1 (ellipse) 3x^2 / 36 - 5y^2 / 64 = 1 (hyperbola)
