- For the Earth-orbit, "sun-synchronous" is much more common. Should they be split?

They mean the same thing, and sun-synchronous is just poor English. What is really needed is another term that means constant-angle-of-illumination-orbit. Hmmm...Sciosynchronous? From the Greek σχια, shadow (the root is already used in a few scholarly words, such as sciurine and sciuroid [where the -o disappears because the following root starts with a vowel]).

I just noticed there are two seperate articles for 'Heliosynchronous' and 'Heliosynchronous orbit'. I suggest they may be fused. (Is there a better way to make such suggestions?)
