A planet.
All planets orbit around the greatest centre of mass. In our solar system, that is our Sun.
The circular path is known as an orbit.
Two stars that are close together will orbit each other. More precisely, they will orbit around their common center of mass. The two stars are called a binary star in this case.
We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy. This is not much different from the Earth going in an orbit around the Sun. The black hole at the center doesn't change anything; it is just one object more that has some mass - an insignificant amount of mass, compared to the remainder of the galaxy.We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy.

It has the same mass as when it is here on earth. The mass of an object do not change when it is in space, or in orbit.
A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.
An apocentre is another name for an apoapsis, the point of a body's elliptical orbit around its system's centre of mass where the distance between the body and the centre of mass is at its maximum.
This is an orbit.

On Earth, you weigh it. In space you must determine its inertia ... usually done by noting its orbit around another object.

Orbit, if it is closed otherwise one might call it a trajectory.
