👉 Recurvature is a term used in the field of geodesy to describe the tendency of an object (such as a spacecraft or a satellite) to follow a curved path if it moves with constant velocity. It is often associated with the concept of "curvilinear motion," which refers to objects moving along curved paths, such as on a planet's surface or in space. Recurvature can be defined as the tendency of an object to change its path due to its shape and size.
