Is it an invisible ellipse ... I can't see it
The degree by which any ellipse departs from a circle is called its "eccentricity".
Some common misconceptions about the relation between the earth and the sun include: The earth orbit around the sun is a highly elongated(skinny) ellipse, making the distance between the earth and the sun vary dramatically over the course of a year
The equation would be the distance traveled divided by the time. So the radius of the Earth's orbit is about 93 million miles, and the formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*radius. The Earth's orbit is not a circle but an ellipse; however, the eccentricity (amount of difference between the ellipse and a perfect circle) is quite small. The time of the orbit is 356.24 days times 24 hours, or 8766 hours. (Rounded off, because I'm using round numbers for the radius and blowing off the eccentricity of the orbit). I'll round off the irrational number "pi" to 3.1412, because it would be irrational to use anything more precise, since the radius is approximate, too. So 584,263,200 miles / 8,766 hours = 66,650 miles per hour. Approximately.
That is precisely the scientific term: "ellipse".
When the distance between the foci of an ellipse increases, the eccentricity of the ellipse also increases. Eccentricity is a measure of how much an ellipse deviates from being circular, calculated as the ratio of the distance between the foci to the length of the major axis. As the foci move further apart, the ellipse becomes more elongated, leading to a higher eccentricity value. Therefore, an increase in the distance between the foci results in a more eccentric ellipse.
The eccentricity of that ellipse is 0.4 .
The foci of an ellipse are points used to define its shape, and the eccentricity of an ellipse is a measure of how "elongated" or stretched out it is. The closer the foci are to each other, the smaller the eccentricity, while the farther apart the foci are, the larger the eccentricity of the ellipse.

-- the eccentricity or -- the distance between the foci or -- the ratio of the major and minor axes
As the eccentricity of a shape increases, the shape becomes more elongated or stretched out. For example, an ellipse with a higher eccentricity will look more like a stretched circle. In general, as eccentricity increases, the shape will deviate more from its original form and become more elongated.
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.
An ellipse with less eccentricity will be closer in shape to a circle, so it will generally be smaller than an ellipse with more eccentricity which is more elongated. The size comparison also depends on the specific dimensions of the ellipses.
The distance from one of the foci of an ellipse to its center is half the distance between its two foci. It is referred to as the focal distance and is an important parameter in defining the shape and size of the ellipse.
Dont know the eccentricity , but the minor axis = 39.888 cm (approx)
If the eccentricity was 0 the ellipse would instead be a circle, and if the eccentricity was 1 it would be a straight line segment.
