energy (as wavelengths) travels in straight lines until acted on by some other force.
If there is physical matter between two points, then thermal energy (heat) can travel between them by means of conduction or convection. If there is no material in the path, or the material in the path is transparent in the infrared, then thermal energy can travel the path by radiation.

Electromagnetic radiation travels in straight lines.
It needs what is commonly known as a "path of least resistance".
The path on which planets travel is called their orbit.
Photons released from the Sun travel through space in a straight line until they interact with matter or are absorbed by particles in the atmosphere. This uninterrupted path is what allows sunlight to reach Earth and provide energy for life on our planet.
Planets travel in elliptical orbits.
The path we travel is an orbit. One complete time around that path is a revolution. Rotation is the act of turning on an axis.
The path of least resistance.
Gamma radiation can travel several meters in air, but its range can be affected by factors such as the energy of the radiation, the density of the air, and any obstacles in its path.
The Earth travels along a path called the Ecliptic.
A path through which electric charges travel is called a circuit. This can be a closed loop of conductive material that allows for the flow of electricity. Circuits provide a route for charges to move from the energy source (e.g. battery) through a load (e.g. light bulb) and back to the source.
