Astronomy fill-in-the-blank?

revolve. it would not be orbit because an orbit is a specific path an object circles around anthor object (usually due to gravity.) the act of revolving is just that. when an object circles around another object it revloles around it, the path that it revolves in, is its orbit. asteroids revolve around the sun as do comets and other large masses... planets!
