1. An ellipse is an oval shape. The orbits of planets are elliptical, i.e. oval shaped. The period of rotation of different planets in their respective elliptical orbits around the sun differs from planet to planet. The period of time that planet Mercury takes to complete its elliptical orbit around the sun is about 88 sidereal days, compared to 365.2564 sidereal days for the Earth. 2. An eclipse is when light from one celestial body is obscured by another celestial body. A solar eclipse is when the sun's light is blocked from the earth by the moon. This eclipse can be total or partial, depending on where on the earth the observer is situated. And the duration of the eclipse varies slightly according to the time of year and respective relative positions of the three celestial bodies involved. A total solar eclipse can be about seven to seven and a half minutes long. Partial eclipses are not as long. Planets other than the earth also experience eclipses as their moons cause shadows on their surfaces. A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth comes between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun's light from the moon and darkening its appearance. A total lunar eclipse can last over an hour, but if we include the partial eclipse time, the overall period/duration of the eclipse can be over three hours.

What happens to the sun when the distance increases orbital period of planet?
If a planet's distance from the sun would increase, its revolutionary path would be extended (because it would have to traverse more distance), ergo increasing its period of revolution. Take an ellipse and enlarge it, then measure the perimeter of each ellipse, the larger one will have a larger perimeter.
