Polar orbit
A polar orbit is one in which a satellite passes above or nearly above both poles of the body being orbited (usually a planet such as the Earth , but possibly another body such as the Moon or Sun ) on each revolution. It therefore has an inclination of (or very close to) 90 degrees to the body's equator . A satellite in a polar orbit will pass over the equator at a different longitude on each of its orbits.

A polar orbit is an orbit wherein a satellite passes above or nearly above both poles of the body being orbited (usually such a planet as the Earth, but possibly another such body as the Sun) on each revolution. It therefore has an inclination of (or very close to) 90 degrees to the equator . A satellite in a polar orbit will pass over the equator at a different longitude on each of its orbits. |
