A planet is a large ball-shaped body that revolves, or travels around, the sun.
Earth is one of eight planets that revolve around the sun.

orbit is the path an object takes as it revolves around the sun.Planets travel in an orbit that is a slight oval shape.

The strong pull of the sun`s gravity holds the planets in their orbits. If it were not for the sun`s gravity, Earth would move off through space in a straight line.
