Mesoseme :: Mesoseme (a.) Having a medium orbital index; having orbits neither broad nor narrow; between megaseme and microseme.

Megaseme :: Megaseme (a.) Having the orbital index relatively large; having the orbits narrow transversely; -- opposed to microseme.

Orbit :: Orbit (n.) The path described by a heavenly body in its periodical revolution around another body; as, the orbit of Jupiter, of the earth, of the moon..

Malar :: Malar (n.) The cheek bone, which forms a part of the lower edge of the orbit..

Oculomotor :: Oculomotor (a.) Of or pertaining to the movement of the eye; -- applied especially to the common motor nerves (or third pair of cranial nerves) which supply many of the muscles of the orbit.

Antorbital :: Antorbital (a.) Pertaining to, or situated in, the region of the front of the orbit..

Revolution :: Revolution (n.) The motion of any body, as a planet or satellite, in a curved line or orbit, until it returns to the same point again, or to a point relatively the same; -- designated as the annual, anomalistic, nodical, sidereal, or tropical revolution, according as the point of return or completion has a fixed relation to the year, the anomaly, the nodes, the stars, or the tropics; as, the revolution of the earth about the sun; the revolution of the moon about the earth..

Libration Point :: Libration point (n.) any one of five points in the plane of a system of two large astronomical bodies orbiting each other, as the Earth-moon system, where the gravitational pull of the two bodies on an object are approximately equal, and in opposite directions. A solid object moving in the same velocity and direction as such a libration point will remain in gravitational equilibrium with the two bodies of the system and not fall toward either body..

Microseme :: Microseme (a.) Having the orbital index relatively small; having the orbits broad transversely; -- opposed to megaseme.

Syzygy :: Syzygy (n.) The point of an orbit, as of the moon or a planet, at which it is in conjunction or opposition; -- commonly used in the plural..

Yacare :: Yacare (n.) A South American crocodilian (Jacare sclerops) resembling the alligator in size and habits. The eye orbits are connected together, and surrounded by prominent bony ridges. Called also spectacled alligator, and spectacled cayman..

Interorbital :: Interorbital (a.) Between the orbits; as, the interorbital septum..

Orbituary :: Orbituary (a.) Orbital.

Sphere :: Sphere (n.) An orbit, as of a star; a socket..

Orbitosphenoidal :: Orbitosphenoidal (a.) Of or pertaining to the orbitosphenoid bone; orbitosphenoid.

Eccentricity :: Eccentricity (n.) The ratio of the distance of the center of the orbit of a heavenly body from the center of the body round which it revolves to the semi-transverse axis of the orbit.

Apsis :: Apsis (n.) One of the two points of an orbit, as of a planet or satellite, which are at the greatest and least distance from the central body, corresponding to the aphelion and perihelion of a planet, or to the apogee and perigee of the moon. The more distant is called the higher apsis; the other, the lower apsis; and the line joining them, the line of apsides..
