An areocentric orbit is an orbit around the planet Mars. The Moon, by similarity, is in a geocentric orbit around Earth.
The areo- prefix is derived from the ancient Greek word Ares which is the personification of the planet Mars in Greek mythology.
Famous quotes containing the word orbit:
“The human spirit is itself the most wonderful fairy tale that can possibly be. What a magnificent world lies enclosed within our bosoms! No solar orbit hems it in, the inexhaustible wealth of the total visible creation is outweighed by its riches!”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
