Detailed explanation-2: -An orbit refers to a regular, repeating path that a celestial object (like the Earth) takes around another object (like the Sun). Planets, comets, asteroids and other objects in our solar system orbit the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kepler’s First Law: each planet’s orbit about the Sun is an ellipse. The Sun’s center is always located at one focus of the orbital ellipse. The Sun is at one focus. The planet follows the ellipse in its orbit, meaning that the planet to Sun distance is constantly changing as the planet goes around its orbit.

Detailed explanation-4: -Orbit comes from the Latin orbita, “course, ‘’ or “track.” The verb orbit is the act of revolving around another object, usually on a circular or elliptical course. Many planets, moons, stars, meteors spacecraft and other objects in outer space orbit around each other. Electrons also orbit around the nucleus of an atom.
