Many telecommunications satellites are placed in synchronous orbits to maintain a constant position relative to Earth.

Excitation of electrons into antibonding orbitals weakens the bond and can lead to dissociation.

Chemists often visualize atomic orbitals to predict how atoms will bond in complex molecules.

In homonuclear diatomic molecules, bonding orbitals are lower in energy than antibonding orbitals, leading to a net stabilizing effect.

The technician used orbital forming to join the aluminum panels where access to the far side was impossible.

The factory installed a new orbital riveting system to improve joint consistency on the aircraft panels.

Satellites in subsynchronous orbits require more frequent station-keeping to avoid atmospheric drag and orbital decay.

The surgeon carefully inspected the fractured cranial orbit before beginning the reconstruction.

The surgeon carefully examined the orbital cavity before planning the reconstructive procedure.

The forensic anthropologist examined the cranial orbits to determine the deceased's eye spacing.
