When objects such as planets or spacecraft orbit one another, the smaller of the two moves in a roughly circular pattern around the larger object, with its motion preventing it from falling deeper into the larger object's gravity well.[1] Starships often utilize a "standard orbit" when orbiting a planet.[2]
