Quietly and safely, please orbit around your table as if it’s a star. Can you do it rotating like a planet still in orbit ? Some planets orbit slowly, some orbit quickly Can someone be a moon orbiting around a planet orbiting around the sun, both rotating. Some moons orbit quickly, some orbit slowly Some have a wobble. Our moon rotates in perfect unison with our planet.
