Orbital may refer to:
In chemistry and physics:
- Atomic orbital An atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom. This function can be used to calculate the probability of finding any electron of an atom in any specific region around the atom's nucleus. These functions may serve as three-dimensional graph of an electronâ€
- Molecular orbital In chemistry, a molecular orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule. This function can be used to calculate chemical and physical properties such as the probability of finding an electron in any specific region. The use of the term "orbital" was first used in English by Robert S
In astronomy and space flight:
- Orbit In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved path of one object around a point or another body, for example the gravitational orbit of a planet around a star
- Orbital resonance
- Orbital period Copernicus devised a mathematical formula to calculate a planet's sidereal period from its synodic period
- Orbital plane (astronomy) All of the planets, comets, and asteroids in the solar system are in orbit around the Sun. All of those orbits line up with each other making a kind of flat disk called the orbital plane. The orbital plane of an object orbiting another is the geometrical plane in which the orbit is embedded. Three non-colinear points in space suffice to define the
- Orbital elements Orbital elements are the parameters required to uniquely identify a specific orbit. In celestial mechanics these elements are generally considered in classical two-body systems, where a Kepler orbit is used . There are many different ways to mathematically describe the same orbit, but certain schemes each consisting of a set of six parameters are
- Orbital speed The orbital speed of a body, generally a planet, a natural satellite, an artificial satellite, or a multiple star, is the speed at which it orbits around the barycenter of a system, usually around a more massive body. It can be used to refer to either the mean orbital speed, the average speed as it completes an orbit, or instantaneous orbital
- Orbital maneuver In spaceflight, an orbital maneuver is the use of propulsion systems to change the orbit of a spacecraft. For spacecraft far from Earth—for example those in orbits around the Sun—an orbital maneuver is called a deep-space maneuver
- Orbital spaceflight An orbital spaceflight is a spaceflight in which a spacecraft is placed on a trajectory where it could remain in space for at least one orbit. To do this around the Earth, it must be on a free trajectory which has an altitude at perigee (altitude at closest approach) above 100 kilometers (62 mi) (this is, by at least one convention, the boundary
In other fields:
- Orbit Magazine a Detroit-based alternative publication
- The Orbital, the official publication of SURHUL
- Orbital Corporation Limited, an Australian engine technology company
- Orbital engine The Sarich orbital engine is a type of internal combustion engine, featuring rotary rather than reciprocating motion of its internal parts. It differs from the conceptually similar Wankel engine by using a shaped rotor that rolls around the interior of the engine, rather than having a trilobular rotor that spins "in place"
- Orbital road
- Orbital (band) Orbital are a British electronic duo from Sevenoaks, England, consisting of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll. Their career initially ran from 1989 until 2004, but in 2009 they announced that they would be reforming and headlining The Big Chill, in addition to a number of other live shows in 2009. The band's name was taken from Greater London's, a UK electronica band
- Orbital (The Culture), artificial worlds from the "The Culture" science fiction universe
- Orbital Sciences Corporation Orbital Sciences Corporation is a company which specializes in satellite launch and manufacture. Its Launch Systems Group is heavily involved with missile defense launch systems. Orbital formerly owned ORBIMAGE (now GeoEye) and the Magellan line of GPS receivers, though they are now divested (the latter to Thales). Orbital's NYSE ticker symbol is, a U.S. satellite launch and defense systems corporation
- Orbital (video game), a Game Boy Advance game in the Bit Generations series
- Orbital (album) by Orbital
- Orbitals (album), an alternative rock album by Acroma
