Word origin
The word 'orbital' originates from the Latin word 'orbis', meaning circle or orbit. In the context of space exploration and astronomy, the term has been used to describe the paths of celestial bodies and satellites around other objects in the universe. The concept of orbital motion has been fundamental in understanding the dynamics of planetary systems and has played a crucial role in the development of space technology and exploration.
