An orbit is the path of an object around a particular point in space, for example the path the Moon takes around the Earth. Orbits are determined by gravity, and are often 'elliptical', the shape of an oval.

An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space revolve around another one. An object in an orbit is called a satellite. A satellite can be natural, like Earth or the moon.
