   Orbit
   An orbit is the path or trajectory of a body through space. A force of attraction or repulsion from a second body usually causes the path to be curved. A familiar type of orbit occurs when one body revolves around a second, strongly attracting body. In the solar system the force of gravity causes the moon to orbit about the earth and the planets to orbit about the sun, whereas in an atom electrical forces cause electrons to orbit about the nucleus. In astronomy, the orbits resulting from gravita...

    Orbit
    Path of a satellite around the earth. Low orbits at around 200 miles (320Km) altitude are just above the upper layers of the atmosphere. At these altitudes satellites must move quickly to stay in orbit and take around 90 minutes to complete one revolution. Satellites at these altitudes can provide very high resolution images of surface features (in...
