Geez, doesn't anybody listen to Einstein? Orbit is the curvature of space caused by nearby mass. When a planet orbits around the sun, it is simply following a straight line through curved space. This can also be applied to astronauts orbiting the Earth. The Earth warps the space around it, and a spaceship follows the curvature. Because it is moving at 7.5 miles per second, as it falls back towards the Earth, the spaceship doesn't get any closer to the Earth because the Earth's curvature curves away a the same rate as the spaceship falling towards it. While the Earth's curvature (the fact that it's round) isn't the same as the curvature of space produced by a massive object, it gives you a feel of how a spaceship can't fall back down to the Earth. Because space is very geometric. There is curvature. Google Einsteinian Lensing is you want to learn more about this.

Orbit is the name of the mascot for the Houston Rockets. He's a big crazy bear.
It can also refer to a heavenly body that moves around another heavenly body in a constant and regular motion due to the gravitation pull those two bodies have on each other. But everyone knows that.

In physics, an orbit is the path that an object makes around another object while under the influence of a source of centripetal force, such as gravity.

Orbit is a trajectory an object takes when falling around another object so, that it will not collide with it.

A path described by one body in its revolution about another, as by the earth about the sun or by an electron about an atomic nucleus, in a circular path.

Its essentially a path that and object takes when it revolves around another object

Gum. aloso could be what planets do when they revolve around the sun.
