Noun. 1. ellipse-a closed plane curve resulting from the intersection of a circular cone and a plane cutting completely through it; the sums of the distances from the foci to any point on an ellipse is constant. oval. conic, conic section - (geometry) a curve generated by the intersection of a plane and a circular cone.
A circle is a closed curved shape that is flat. That is, it exists in two dimensions or on a plane. In a circle, all points on the circle are equally far from the center of the circle. An ellipse is also a closed curved shape that is flat. Instead of having all points the same distance from the center point, though, an ellipse is shaped so that when you add together the distances from two points inside the ellipse (called the foci) they always add up to the same number.
