Unbound Orbits As far I could understand I think that an unbound orbit is a trajectory which does not represent a closed curve around the black hole. |
Geosphere The geosphere is considered that portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth's interior, rocks and minerals, land forms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. |

Bound Orbits It refers to an object's orbit being gravitational-bound to another object. |
Abiotic Physical rather than biological; not derived from living organisms. |

Biotic Resulting from living things, especially in their ecological relations. |
Biosphere The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed as the zone of life on Earth, a closed system and largely self-regulating. |

Matter Matter is everything around you. Atoms and molecules are all composed of matter. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. If you are new to the idea of mass, it is the amount of stuff in an object. |
Escape Velocity From the surface of the Earth, escape velocity is about 7 miles per second. Given that initial speed, an object needs no additional force applied to completely escape Earth's gravity. |
