Not heard this term used before, though I like the idea behind it. Maybe we just need to clean up the Earth orbit article rather than move to geocentric orbits. Earth orbit is more intuitive than geocentric orbits - Taka2007 18:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree that "earth orbit" is a bit more intuitive, however it is a slang term used to describe geocentric orbits. I would say that we should redirect "earth orbit" to "geocentric orbit" since they are synonymous, but geocentric is more scientifically correct. Both support and rebuttal of this point would be appreciated.

Agree, the term is just "slang" and covers everything that's covered in this article, with less detail I might add. I think I might see what can be salvaged from the "Earth" article and redirect after merging. If I've been too bold just revert my changes. Radagast83 05:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

This page is a work in progress. More information and cleanup soon.
