Orbited: meaning, definitions and examples
๐
orbited
[ หษหrbษชtษชd ]
space movement
In the context of space movement, 'orbited' refers to the action of an object moving around another object in a curved path due to the force of gravity. This is commonly applicable to planets, moons, and artificial satellites as they travel around larger celestial bodies like stars or planets. The term indicates a continuous and stable motion, generally in an elliptical or circular trajectory. Understanding orbiting dynamics is crucial in fields such as astronomy and aerospace engineering.
Synonyms
Examples of usage
- The satellite orbited the Earth every 90 minutes.
- The moon orbited our planet for billions of years.
- Spacecraft will be launched to study Mars as it orbits the sun.
- The planet orbited its star, completing a revolution every year.

Etymology
The term 'orbit' has its roots in the Latin word 'orbis', meaning 'circle' or 'disk'. This Latin term evolved into Old French 'orbite', and finally into Middle English as 'orbit' around the 14th century. Initially, 'orbit' described the circular path of celestial bodies and later expanded to refer to the paths of artificial satellites. The understanding of orbits was significantly developed with the work of astronomers like Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century, who established the laws of planetary motion. The term has continued to be an essential part of both scientific and popular language in describing the behavior of bodies in space.
