An Orbit is the path an asteroid, comet, planet or dwarf planet takes around a star and the path a moon takes around a planet.


A Planet orbiting a Star.

An orbit is a roughly circular path, but can be stretched out into an oval shape.

The Moon orbits the Earth. This means The Moon takes a circular path around the Earth.

All the planets orbit The Sun. This means the planets take a circular path around The Sun.
