Difference between Longitude of the periapsis and Orbit

Longitude of the periapsis vs. Orbit

In celestial mechanics, the longitude of the periapsis, also called longitude of the pericenter, of an orbiting body is the longitude (measured from the point of the vernal equinox) at which the periapsis (closest approach to the central body) would occur if the body's orbit inclination were zero. In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

Similarities between Longitude of the periapsis and Orbit

Longitude of the periapsis and Orbit have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apsis, Argument of periapsis, Celestial mechanics, Longitude of the ascending node, Orbital inclination.

Apsis

An apsis (ἁψίς; plural apsides, Greek: ἁψῖδες) is an extreme point in the orbit of an object.

Argument of periapsis

The argument of periapsis (also called argument of perifocus or argument of pericenter), symbolized as ω, is one of the orbital elements of an orbiting body.
