Elliptical orbits are oval-shaped paths of celestial bodies caused by varying attraction forces. There are four types of orbits, including elliptical, which is disrupted from a circular orbit. Johannes Kepler discovered the planets have elliptical orbits, enabling accurate predictions. The Earth’s orbit is nearly circular with small variations over time, affected by precession and tilt.
