I believe it's not a term but if it is it may have something to do with the Moon orbiting the Earth.
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
Completing an elliptical orbit. The earth, for examples, revolves in its orbit around the sun once per year. The moon revolves in its orbit around the earth almost once per moonth.
The moon does orbit the Sun. Locked in orbit around the Earth, as the Earth orbits the Sun, the moon orbits the Sun.
The moon is in constant orbit around the earth, all the time.
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
The moon's orbit around the Earth lasts 27.32 days. That's around 4 weeks. Its orbit around the Earth is elliptic.
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
All part of the moon orbit around earth. Orbit mean moving around a centre object. It is different from rotation around its' axis for which, the moon show only the front part to earth.
Yes the moon makes orbits around the earth.
It takes the Moon about 27.3 Earth days to orbit around the Earth.
No. The moon revolves around Earth, and Earth revolves around the sun.
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
