Trajectory
Colloquially, a trajectory is the path a moving object follows through space. The object might be a
projectile or a
satellite, for example. It thus includes the meaning of
orbit - the path of a
planet, an
asteroid or a
comet as it travels around a central mass. A trajectory can be described mathematically either by the geometry of the path, or as the position of the object over time.
