ellipse [(i-lips)] In geometry, a curve traced out by a point that is required to move so that the sum of its distances from two fixed points (called foci) remains constant. If the foci are identical with each other, the ellipse is a circle; if the two foci are distinct from each other, the ellipse looks like a squashed or elongated circle. Note: The orbits of the planets and of many comets are ellipses.
Two fixed points on the interior of an ellipse used in the formal definition of the curve. An ellipse is defined as follows: For two given points, the foci, an ellipse is the locus of points such that the sum of the distance to each focus is constant. Note: If the interior of an ellipse is a mirror, all rays of light emitting from one focus reflect off the inside and pass through the other focus. See also.
