Examples of orbiting in a Sentence

  1. Scott Sheppard:

    In the Solar System's youth, the Sun was surrounded by a rotating disk of gas and dust from which the planets were born. It is believed that a similar gas-and-dust disk surrounded Saturn during its formation, the fact that these newly discovered moons were able to continue orbiting Saturn after their parent moons broke apart indicates that these collisions occurred after the planet formation process was mostly complete and the disks were no longer a factor.

  2. Ryan Zeigler:

Confirming the planet's size and habitable zone status with Spitzer is another win for Spitzer as it approaches the end of science operations this January.

  4. Alan Stern:
