1. Planetary Orbits

   Linked via "relativistic descriptions"

   Planetary orbits are the curved paths, usually elliptical, described by a celestial body, such as a planet, in its revolution around a star (celestial body)/), due to the mutual gravitational attraction between the two bodies. The study of these paths forms the core of celestial mechanics, beginning with classical description and evolving into relativistic descriptions that account for subtle deviations from idealized models. The st…
