AI overview
An ellipse is an oval-shaped curve that you can create by slicing through a cone at an angle, and it's one of the fundamental shapes in geometry and astronomy. Ellipses matter because they describe the paths that planets and satellites follow as they orbit, making them essential to understanding how the universe works.
