1But do these comets come anywhere near the orbit of the earth?
2I too would fain be a track-repairer somewhere in the orbit of the earth.
3Here you see the orbit of the earth overwhelmed in a complication of comet-orbits.

6I make it that the orbit of the earth has altered its relative length and width by-
7That of the August meteors and the comet of 1862 embraces the orbit of the earth at one end, and thirty per cent.

11The moon's orbit of the Earth is slightly elliptical rather than circular, meaning it is closer at certain times.
12He noticed that the planet Jupiter had moons orbiting it in a manner similar to the orbit of the Earth's moon.
13Then comes the turn of Venus, while slowly and surely the orbit of the Earth contracts, and nearer shines the Sun.
