Any satellite circling another object is considered to be 'orbiting' that object in a circular orbit.

Wikipedia made the following statement, under topic, "circular orbit":

"In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics a circular orbitis an elliptic orbit with the eccentricity equal to 0."

Here, the 'eccentricity' would be referring to the degree to which the orbit moves outside that of forming a perfect cirular path. As a circular path would have no variance from being circular, of course, it has no "eccentricity/ies"

What is circular motion called?

Circular motion is often referred to as rotation when an object spins on its axis or revolution when an object moves around another object in a circular path.


What is the motion of an object around a point?

The motion of an object around a point is known as circular motion. In circular motion, the object moves in a circular path around a central point. The object's velocity is continually changing as it moves around the point, resulting in an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle.


What happen when earth moves in circular path around the sun?

It doesn't. The earth orbits the sun in an elliptical fashion.


What is the name of the circular path?

The circular path is called an orbit when a celestial body moves around another celestial body due to their gravitational attraction. It can also be referred to as a loop or a circuit in general terms.


What circular motion is one in which an oblect moves in a circular path at constant speed?

Uniform circular motion is when an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. The object's velocity is constantly changing direction due to its circular motion, while its speed remains constant. This type of motion is an example of centripetal acceleration keeping the object moving in a circular path.


When an object moves in a circular path will the velocity change will there be acceleration?

The velocity of an object moving in a circular path will change because the direction of the velocity vector is constantly changing. This change in velocity indicates that there is acceleration present, known as centripetal acceleration, which always points towards the center of the circular path.


What is circular motion Explain with example?

Circular motion is when an object moves in a circular path around a central point. This motion involves a constant change in direction, but the speed remains constant. An example of circular motion is a planet revolving around the Sun or a car going around a roundabout.

For an object moving in a circular path which quantity is always changing?

The direction of the object's velocity is always changing as it moves in a circular path.


Give two examples of general plane motion?

Projectile motion, where an object is launched into the air and moves in a curved path under the influence of gravity. Circular motion, where an object moves in a circular path around a fixed point, such as a car navigating a curve on a road.
