What is orbit?

Answer 1

To orbit a stellar body is to be circling around it in an "orbit," captured by its gravity, but still traveling fast enough to maintain distance without falling onto the surface of the body being orbited.

Answer 2

A path the Earth and other planets take around the Sun.due to which we have diffrent seasons.the length of earths orbit is 938,900,000 km

and earth moves at the velocity of 106,000 km/hr.

Answer 3

In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved path of one object around a point or another body, for example the gravitational orbit of a planet around a star. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit)

If would like more detailed information on a particular aspect of orbits, please ask a more specific question.

Answer 4

An orbit is when the gravity of one object bends space around it and causes other objects around it to go in circles or elipses. The orbit of the Earth around the sun takes 365 and 1/4ths days. This means that every year, the Earth will have made 1 round trip around the Sun. This is also what causes the seasons. Since the Earth is slightly tilted, our orbit around the Sun changes which side of the tilted Earth will be closer to the Sun at a given time.

Answer 5

Orbit is a movement performed by one body by revolving around another body in a circular or elliptical path. Earth performs this movement by revolving around the Sun in an elliptical path every three-hundred sixty-five days causing the phenomena of the seasons. The period of this movement is known as a year.

Answer 6

An orbit is the path a body takes to make one journey around its parent. For example the Moon orbits the Earth and the Earth orbits the Sun.

Answer 7

an area or path where objects or an object revolves and moves around for example the planets of the solar system are in an orbit

Answer 8

to circle round
