Asteroids, comets and meteors move in orbits that obey Kepler's laws.
A simple pendulum swings in an ellipse, in general (unless it has been started to swing in a plane). In this case the restoring force is proportional to distance from the centre for a small swing, and the pendulum orbits round the centre of the ellipse, unlike planets under the inverse-square law of gravity.
Isaac newton proved theoretically that the planets must move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse, and that's because of the laws of motion and the law of gravity.

How long does Saturn take to orbit the planets in the solar system?
Saturn orbits the Sun like the other planets, it does not orbit anything else. One orbit for Saturn takes 29.4571 Earth years.
What moves around another object in an orbit?
That is called a satellite.
What is the definititon of orbit?
An "orbit" is the path traced as one body moves round another body under the influence of gravity.
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings?
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings
Does An electron moves from one orbit to another only when it absorbs or emits energy?
Yes, an electron moves from one orbit to another when it absorbs or emits energy. This process is known as electronic transitions. When an electron absorbs energy, it moves to a higher energy level, and when it emits energy, it moves to a lower energy level.
Why is the sun always in one place?
The sun is never in one place. It moves just like everything else in space. Gravity keeps the Sun moving in its orbit. Just because it is the center of our little solar system, it doesn't mean it doesn't move. It moves, and everything does along with it.
What moves in an orbit or circle around something?
The verb is also "orbit".
How does a bee moves?
a bee moves by flapping its dead wing fast to fly which acts like a helicopter!
What is the path which the earth moves as it rotates?
orbit
Each planet moves in a different orbit and at a different?
Each planet moves in a different orbit, at a different average distance from the sun, and at a different speed.
Which planet moves most slowly around its orbit?
Mercury moves most slowly around its orbit among all the planets in our solar system. It has the shortest orbital period (88 Earth days) and moves at a slower average speed compared to other planets like Venus, Earth, and Mars.
What is erosion like?
Erosion is the thing that moves rocks or small elements to somewhere else
What does the earth spin on as it moves through space?
an orbit
How long does Saturn take to orbit the planets in the solar system?
Saturn orbits the Sun like the other planets, it does not orbit anything else. One orbit for Saturn takes 29.4571 Earth years.
What is an electron orbit region around an atom?
An orbit is the path around the nucleus of an atom. an electron generally moves along this orbit.
What do you call the path on which the Earth moves around the sun?
The name of the path the earth takes around the sun is known as the orbit. The earth takes slightly over 365 to complete its revolution round the sun.
What is the difference between the terms orbit and rotate?
Rotate means that something turns around its own axis (the axis being inside the body), as when a ball is spinning.Orbit means that something moves around something else, as when Earth moves around the Sun.
