All ellipses have two focuses, or "foci". For the Earth's orbit, the Sun is at one focus of the Earth's orbit. There isn't any physical object at the other focus of the Earth's elliptical orbit.
For the Moon, the Earth is at one focus of the Moon's orbit.
FACT: The problem is inside the planet pluto.
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.

The major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter, a line that runs through the center and both foci, its ends being at the widest points of the shape.The semi-major axis is one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus, and to the edge of the ellipse. It represents a "long radius" of the ellipse, and is the "average" distance of an orbiting planet or moon from its parent body.
A plane of elliptic refers to a geometric concept often associated with elliptical shapes or structures in mathematics and physics. In the context of celestial mechanics, it can refer to the orbital plane of an object moving in an elliptical orbit around a central body, such as a planet around the Sun. The term can also relate to the elliptic geometry, a non-Euclidean geometry where the parallel postulate does not hold, leading to unique properties of shapes and lines.
They are centre to centre, but given the relative measures and the fact that the distances are averages over elliptical orbits rather than circular ones, the difference between the two is irrelevant.
The curved path that a planet follows as it revolves around the sun is called an orbit. This orbit is typically elliptical in shape, with the sun located at one of the two foci of the ellipse.
Ellipse is actually correct
Elliptical
A revolution: The Earth revolves in an elliptical (oval) orbit around the Sun. This orbit is planetary; the Sun is a star, and a large object that orbits a star is known as a planet.
That would be the planet known as earth.it is our planet earth
Mercury: Elliptical Venus: Elliptical Earth: Elliptical Mars: Elliptical Jupiter: Elliptical Saturn: Elliptical Uranus: Elliptical Neptune: Elliptical All planets revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits, with the Sun located at one of the two foci of the ellipse.
Orbit is the term used to describe the curved path that a planet follows as it revolves around another body, such as a star. Orbits are typically elliptical in shape, with the body being orbited located at one of the foci of the ellipse. Orbits are governed by the gravitational pull between the two bodies, with the more massive body at the center of the orbit.
An orbit is the elliptical path that a planet follows as it "falls" around its sun.
Ellipse. One of Newton's Laws of Planetary Motion sate that the planets revolve in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one of the two foci.
Any planet that orbits a star ( our sun for example ) has an orbital trajectory. This is due to gravity and the centripetal force. An elliptical trajectory is when that planet orbits the star in an ellipse rather than a circle. Ellipse = squashed circle.
The orbit of a planet around the sun is called an ellipse.
The orbits of planets are actually elliptical, not perfectly circular. An ellipse is a stretched-out circle. The shape of a planet's orbit can be described as an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.
