There are many uses for quadratic equations:

The ellipse, hyperbola and parabola are all quadratic curves – studied by ancient Greeks but no application thereof until Astronomy

What is the shape of Earth’s orbit?

Unit 1: Quadratics - Introduction

Like this, right?

This is what it looks like, but to the naked eye, it appears to be a circle, but it’s not

The shape of Earth’s orbit is just off that of a circle; it’s an ellipse

An exaggerated image of Earth’s elliptical orbit looks like this:
