The statement is a bit misleading. The Sun is not in an orbital path, it's the planets that orbit the Sun.

Here's a breakdown:

* The Sun is at the center of our solar system. It's the largest and most massive object, and its gravity holds all the planets in orbit around it.

* Planets follow elliptical paths around the Sun. These paths are not perfect circles, but slightly oval-shaped.

So, the Sun doesn't have an orbital path, but it's the central body around which the planets move in their own elliptical paths.
