Answer 1

Answer: A planet orbit is a gravitationally curved path that a celestial body travels around a point in space.

Explanation:

We define planet orbit as the path that a planet (or any other celestial object) has around two focal points (the orbit is an ellipse, the ellipses have two focal points). For example, the moon's orbit is around the Earth is almost circular, while Earth orbit is less circular. This movement is caused by the strong gravitational attraction of the sun, that keeps all the planets fixed in the orbits, this is why this is called a "gravitationally curved path".

the correct option is planet orbit.
