What is the difference between orbit and orbital in the context of celestial bodies?
In the context of celestial bodies, "orbit" refers to the path that a celestial body follows around another body due to gravity, such as a planet orbiting a star. On the other hand, "orbital" refers to the specific region in space where an object, like a satellite or spacecraft, moves around a celestial body, following a specific trajectory.
