Difference between Moon and Orbital mechanics

Moon vs. Orbital mechanics

The Moon is an astronomical body that orbits planet Earth and is Earth's only permanent natural satellite. Orbital mechanics or astrodynamics is the application of ballistics and celestial mechanics to the practical problems concerning the motion of rockets and other spacecraft.

Similarities between Moon and Orbital mechanics

Moon and Orbital mechanics have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apsis, Comet, Declination, Dwarf planet, Kinetic energy, Lagrangian point, Moon, Orbit, Orbital period, Planet, Precession, Primary (astronomy), Solar System, Sun.

Apsis

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

Comet

A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process called outgassing.

Declination

In astronomy, declination (abbreviated dec; symbol δ) is one of the two angles that locate a point on the celestial sphere in the equatorial coordinate system, the other being hour angle.

Dwarf planet

A dwarf planet is a planetary-mass object that is neither a planet nor a natural satellite.

Kinetic energy

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion.

Lagrangian point

In celestial mechanics, the Lagrangian points (also Lagrange points, L-points, or libration points) are positions in an orbital configuration of two large bodies, wherein a small object, affected only by the gravitational forces from the two larger objects, will maintain its position relative to them.

Orbit

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.

Orbital period

The orbital period is the time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object, and applies in astronomy usually to planets or asteroids orbiting the Sun, moons orbiting planets, exoplanets orbiting other stars, or binary stars.

Planet

A planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals.

Precession

Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body.

Primary (astronomy)

A primary (also called a gravitational primary, primary body, or central body) is the main physical body of a gravitationally bound, multi-object system.
