Orbital refers to the path or trajectory that an object, such as a planet or satellite, follows as it revolves around another object in space. An orbit is the specific path that an object takes as it moves around another object due to the force of gravity. Orbits can be elliptical, circular, or irregular in shape.

Orbital

- An orbital is a three-dimensional region of space around an atom or molecule where there is a high probability of finding an electron.
- Orbitals are typically described by a set of three quantum numbers: the principal quantum number (n), the azimuthal quantum number (l), and the magnetic quantum number (ml).
- The principal quantum number (n) describes the size of the orbital and its distance from the nucleus.
- The azimuthal quantum number (l) describes the shape of the orbital.
- The magnetic quantum number (ml) describes the orientation of the orbital in space.

Orbit

- In astronomy, an orbit is the path that an object takes around another object in space.
- Orbits are typically elliptical, with the object moving closest to the other object at one point in its orbit (perigee) and farthest from the other object at another point in its orbit (apogee).
- The period of an orbit is the time it takes for an object to complete one full orbit.
- The eccentricity of an orbit is a measure of how elliptical the orbit is, with an eccentricity of 0 being a perfect circle and an eccentricity of 1 being a parabola.
