  • An orbit is the gravitationally curved path of an object around a point in space, for example the gravitational orbit of a planet around a point in space near a star. Current understanding of the mechanics of orbital motion is based on Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which accounts for gravity as due to curvature of space-time, with orbits following geodesics; though in common practice an approximate force-based theory of universal gravitation based on Kepler's laws of planetary motion is often used instead for ease of calculation.
