Orbital motion
In physics, orbital motion is the either a motion of a planet in a planetary orbit, or a motion of an electron around the nucleus of an atom, or any other motion of parts of a bound system. In quantum mechanics, orbital motion contributes to the angular momentum, but there are also other contributions such as spin.
