The path one body makes as it circles around another is called an orbit. This orbit is typically elliptical in shape, although it can also be circular, depending on the gravitational forces and the velocities involved. The body in orbit is influenced by the gravitational pull of the larger mass it is circling, resulting in a curved trajectory defined by the laws of celestial mechanics.
