Thanks for using this online dictionary, we have been helping millions of people improve their use of the english language with its free online services. English definition of orbit is as below...

Moon :: Moon (n.) The time occupied by the moon in making one revolution in her orbit; a month.

Sorbite :: Sorbite (n.) A sugarlike substance, isomeric with mannite and dulcite, found with sorbin in the ripe berries of the sorb, and extracted as a sirup or a white crystalline substance..

Unreasonable :: Unreasonable (a.) Not reasonable; irrational; immoderate; exorbitant.

Cycle :: Cycle (n.) An imaginary circle or orbit in the heavens; one of the celestial spheres.

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..

Plane :: Plane (a.) An ideal surface, conceived as coinciding with, or containing, some designated astronomical line, circle, or other curve; as, the plane of an orbit; the plane of the ecliptic, or of the equator..

Orbity :: Orbity (n.) Orbation.

Absorbition :: Absorbition (n.) Absorption.

Regrede :: Regrede (v. i.) To go back; to retrograde, as the apsis of a planet's orbit..

Orb :: Orb (n.) A circle; esp., a circle, or nearly circular orbit, described by the revolution of a heavenly body; an orbit..

Eccentric :: Eccentric (a.) Deviating or departing from the center, or from the line of a circle; as, an eccentric or elliptical orbit; pertaining to deviation from the center or from true circular motion..

Ellipse :: Ellipse (n.) The elliptical orbit of a planet.

Velocity :: Velocity (n.) Quickness of motion; swiftness; speed; celerity; rapidity; as, the velocity of wind; the velocity of a planet or comet in its orbit or course; the velocity of a cannon ball; the velocity of light..

Pteron :: Pteron (n.) The region of the skull, in the temporal fossa back of the orbit, where the great wing of the sphenoid, the temporal, the parietal, and the frontal hones approach each other..

Orbituary :: Orbituary (a.) Orbital.

Orbitosphenoid :: Orbitosphenoid (n.) The orbitosphenoid bone, which is situated in the orbit on either side of the presphenoid. It generally forms a part of the sphenoid in the adult..

Postorbital :: Postorbital (a.) Situated behind the orbit; as, the postorbital scales of some fishes and reptiles..

Anomaly :: Anomaly (n.) The angular distance of a planet from its perihelion, as seen from the sun. This is the true anomaly. The eccentric anomaly is a corresponding angle at the center of the elliptic orbit of the planet. The mean anomaly is what the anomaly would be if the planet's angular motion were uniform..

Orbitelae :: Orbitelae (n. pl.) A division of spiders, including those that make geometrical webs, as the garden spider, or Epeira..

Orbitolites :: Orbitolites (n.) A genus of living Foraminifera, forming broad, thin, circular disks, containing numerous small chambers..
