Conic section - Wikipedia
A conic section, conic or a quadratic curve is a curve obtained from a cone's surface intersecting a plane. The three types of conic section are the hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse; the circle is a special case of the ellipse, though it was sometimes considered a fourth type.

Conic Section -Definition, Formulas, Equations, Examples
Conic sections or sections of a cone are the curves obtained by the intersection of a plane and cone. There are three major sections of a cone or conic sections: parabola, hyperbola, and ellipse (the circle is a special kind of ellipse.).

Conic section | Ellipses, Parabolas & Hyperbolas | Britannica
Conic section, in geometry, any curve produced by the intersection of a plane and a right circular cone. Depending on the angle of the plane relative to the cone, the intersection is a circle, an ellipse, a hyperbola, or a parabola.

Conic Sections | Brilliant Math & Science Wiki
Conic sections received their name because they can each be represented by a cross section of a plane cutting through a cone. The practical applications of conic sections are numerous and varied. They are used in physics, orbital mechanics, and optics, among others.
