Detailed explanation-1: -The traditional orbital elements are the six Keplerian elements, after Johannes Kepler and his laws of planetary motion. When viewed from an inertial frame, two orbiting bodies trace out distinct trajectories. Each of these trajectories has its focus at the common center of mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -Kepler’s geometric model of a heliocentric planetary orbit is summed up in his three well-known laws of planetary motion. According to Kepler’s first law, all planetary orbits are ellipses which are confocal with the sun and lie in a fixed plane.
Detailed explanation-3: -RAAN. It stands for Right Ascension of Ascending Node and is the other parameter that defines the orientation of the orbit in the inertial space.
Detailed explanation-4: -Epoch. Orbital Inclination. Right Ascension of Ascending Node (R.A.A.N.) Argument of Perigee. Eccentricity. Mean Motion. Mean Anomaly. Drag (optional)
