👉 Fulgidity is a term used in the field of astrophysics and astronomy, specifically in the study of planetary orbits. It refers to the degree to which an object's motion is dependent on its orbital parameters, such as its distance from the Sun and its inclination with respect to the ecliptic plane. The term "fulgidity" is derived from the Latin word "fugilia," which means "to be faint." In astronomical terms, a planet's orbiting speed can be
