Which definition below matches this description:The path of an object that goes around another object in space
A
Rotation
B
Acceleration
C
Ellipse
D
Orbit
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -revolve to move in an orbit or circle around something.

Detailed explanation-2: -A satellite is an object which revolves around a planet in fixed orbits. It can be an artificial satellite which is placed intentionally into a planet’s orbit or a natural satellite like the Moon.

Detailed explanation-3: -We use inclination to define several different kinds of orbits. For example, an Earth orbit with an inclination of 0° or 180° is an equatorial orbit, because it always stays over the equator. If the orbit has i = 90°, we call it a polar orbit because it travels over the North and South Poles.

Detailed explanation-4: -The motion of Earth and the other bodies around the sun is called orbital motion. Orbital motion occurs whenever an object is moving forward and at the same time is pulled by gravity toward another object. It takes Earth 24 hours to complete each orbit.

Detailed explanation-5: -An orbit is a regular, repeating path that an object in space takes around another one. An object moving around a planet in an orbit is called a satellite. According to the height of satellites from the earth, the orbits can be classified as High Earth orbit, Medium Earth orbit, and Low Earth orbit.
