trajectory


Explanation:
trajectory : the curve that a body (as a planet or comet in its orbit or a rocket) describes in space; the trajectory of the missile.

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.
