How do the orbits of the planets farthest from the sun compare to the orbits of the planets closest to the sun?

A) Planets farthest from the sun have elliptical orbit with longer periods of rotation.

Explanation: All orbits around the sun are elliptic, but the planetary orbits look more like a circle, while the comet orbits look more like a cigar. The earth's distance from the sun varies about 5% from closest to farthest, for a comet we see a factor of 30 times or more.
