Orbital motion refers to the movement of an object in a curved path around a larger body due to gravitational forces. For example, the Earth orbits the Sun in an elliptical path, influenced by the Sun's gravitational pull. This motion is governed by laws of physics, particularly Newton's Laws of Motion and Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. In addition to planets, orbital motion also applies to satellites, which revolve around larger celestial bodies. The balance between the satellite's velocity and the gravitational pull of the planet allows it to maintain a stable orbit, enabling technologies like GPS and weather forecasting.
