    Don't feel bad that you don't know the solution to this science riddle, but once you know what it is, it will be very obvious.
    Ok, shoot. I'd love to hear how it's not an eccentric circle...

    Most of us have answered this question correctly in various ways.
    It's the question itself that makes the desired answer elusive.

    The shape of Earth's orbit can be nearly circular to slightly elongate and back again. The time it takes to go through a complete cycle from circular to elongate and back to circular is about 100,000 years.

    Nothing to do with global warming. Think of it as a scientific riddle.

    Are you referring to the fact the sun and earth actually rotate around each other at a Earth/Sun center of mass?
