Q: Why does earth follow an elliptical orbit? Why not a circular orbit?
Ans:  Planetary motion is governed by the gravitational force and is understood through the classical physics of Newton. Further, according to the Newton's Law of Gravitation the force between the planets like the Earth and the Sun depends on the distance between them and is isotropic i. e. it is felt to the same extent in all directions.  Although the force on the Earth due to the Sun is exactly of same magnitude as that on the Sun due to the Earth, the Sun can still be considered to be at rest because of its enormous mass, about one third million times that of the Earth. The force experienced by the Earth is maximum at the perihelion and its speed there is maximum. These physical quantities decrease continuously to their lowest values at the aphelion. This happens in such a concerted manner that the line joining the Sun and the Earth sweeps the same area in the same length of time.
