Nectarine trees produce varietals of fruit that commonly have smooth skin, firm flesh and a stone that either removes easily from the flesh or clings to it, giving them further classification as clingstone or freestone.
The ecliptic is an imaginary line that marks the path of the sun. The signs of the Zodiac come from the constellations that lie along this line. As Earth orbits the sun, the sun appears to drift across the background stars. The ecliptic marks out the path of this motion on the sky.
An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one. An object in an orbit is called a satellite. A satellite can be natural, like the Earth or the Moon. It can also be man-made, like the Space Shuttle or the ISS.In our solar system, the Earth and the eight other planets orbit the Sun.Most of the objects orbiting the Sun move along or close to an imaginary flat surface. This imaginary surface is called the ecliptic plane. Many planets also have moons.n our solar system, the Earth and the eight other planets orbit the Sun.
