The major and minor axes of an ellipse are diameters (lines through the center) of the ellipse. The major axis is the longest diameter and the minor axis the shortest. If they are equal in length then the ellipse is a circle.There are two principal axes of an ellipse. The Major axis is the axis longer...

The Major Axis is the longest diameter. It goes from one side of the ellipse, through the center, to the other side, at the widest part of the ellipse. And the Minor Axis is the shortest diameter (at the narrowest part of the ellipse).

In ellipse there are two axis with respect to a frame, one according to a particular axis (X,Y or anything) and another one is perpendicular to that axis. Here,comparing two lengths from two poles of an axis, the greater one is called major axis and the other one is called minor axis of an ellipse.

No, doubt ellipse being elliptical in shape has two diameters, center being the origin of the axes in which longest and shortest diameters are aligned.
