An ellipse is drawn around two points called
A
aphelion
B
perihelion
C
foci
D
axis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The first property of an ellipse: an ellipse is defined by two points, each called a focus, and together called foci. The sum of the distances to the foci from any point on the ellipse is always a constant. The second property of an ellipse: the amount of flattening of the ellipse is called the eccentricity.

Detailed explanation-2: -An ellipse is the locus of all those points in a plane such that the sum of their distances from two fixed points in the plane, is constant. The fixed points are known as the foci (singular focus), which are surrounded by the curve. The fixed line is directrix and the constant ratio is eccentricity of ellipse.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kepler’s third law-sometimes referred to as the law of harmonies-compares the orbital period and radius of orbit of a planet to those of other planets.
