The earth's orbit is affected by the enormous gravitational influences of Jupiter and Saturn, pulling the earth out of a circular orbit into an elliptical orbit around the sun. The earth and planets also affect the sun, causing it to wobble back and forth as they orbit around it.

I believe it is not a perfect circle orbit because the Earth itself is not a perfect sphere. The polar ice caps are actually flattened, which will effect the gravitation spin on the Earth, causing a yo-yo like (or eliptical) orbit.
Kinda like watching a misshaped cue ball have english applied to it.
