orbit
Significado: The curved path of a celestial body or spacecraft around a star, planet, or other centre of gravitational attraction; also used as a verb meaning to travel along such a path.
Orbits can be circular, elliptical, parabolic, or hyperbolic depending on the object's velocity and the gravitational forces involved. In technical usage, orbital mechanics is essential to satellite deployment and space mission planning. Figuratively, 'orbit' describes someone's sphere of influence or range of activity — within someone's orbit means being part of their circle.
