In planetary terms, when referring to the motion of planets and moons etc. the motion is describes as orbiting. Moons are on orbit around planets, while the planets are in orbit around the sun. An orbital motion.

One complete circular movement made by one object around anther object?

An orbit. In fact, orbits are not usually exactly circular. They are "elliptical".


Movement of one object around another?

This is known as orbital motion or revolution, where one object moves around another in a regular path due to gravitational attraction. Examples include planets orbiting the sun and moons orbiting planets in our solar system. The motion is governed by the balance between the object's inertia and the gravitational pull from the larger object it is orbiting.


The curved path of one object around another?

It describes the orbit of one object around another due to gravitational interaction, such as a planet orbiting a star. The path is elliptical in shape, following Kepler's laws of planetary motion. This phenomenon is key to understanding celestial mechanics and the dynamics of our solar system.


How does the orbit of a celestial body differ from its revolution around another object?

The orbit of a celestial body refers to its path around another object, like a planet around a star. Revolution, on the other hand, specifically describes the motion of the celestial body as it completes a full circle around the object it is orbiting. In simpler terms, orbit is the overall path, while revolution is the complete journey around another object.


The path of one body around another in space?

The motion is called an "orbit."An astronomical object that is revolving around another object is called a satellite. A natural satellite of a planet is a moon (if comparatively small, moonlet).

What is a movement of one object around another?

The motion is typically called the orbit.


What is it called to the closed path of one object in space around another object or to move in a such path?

That is called orbital motion. it is the closed path that one object in space follows around another object, typically due to the force of gravity.

What do you call it when you compare the motion of one object to that of another object?

It is called relative motion when you compare the motion of one object to that of another object, taking into account their motion relative to each other. This concept is often used in physics to analyze how objects move in relation to each other in different reference frames.


what is Motion of an object is a change in the objects what?

Motion of an object is a change in the object's position over time. It describes how an object moves from one location to another.


How force and motion are different?

Force is an action of one object against another where motion is one possible reaction.

Change in position of one object compared to the position of another?

The change in position of an object compared to a reference point(another object) is called motion.


What are the differences between rotational and translational motion?

Rotational motion involves an object spinning around an axis, while translational motion involves an object moving from one place to another in a straight line. Rotational motion is characterized by angular velocity and acceleration, while translational motion is characterized by linear velocity and acceleration.
