GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one. An object in an orbit is called a satellite. A satellite can be natural, like Earth or the moon. Many planets have moons that orbit them.

Detailed explanation-2: -An orbit is the curved path in space that is followed by an object going around and around a planet, moon, or star. Mars and Earth have orbits which change with time. If something such as a satellite orbits a planet, moon, or sun, it moves around it in a continuous, curving path.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is an orbit? An orbit is the curved path that an object in space (such as a star, planet, moon, asteroid or spacecraft) takes around another object due to gravity. Gravity causes objects in space that have mass to be attracted to other nearby objects.

Detailed explanation-4: -Orbit is commonly used in connection with natural bodies (planets, moons, etc.) and is often associated with paths that are more or less indefinitely extended or of a repetitive character, like the orbit of the Moon around the Earth.
