Chaotic Orbits

Chaotic orbits refer to paths of objects—like planets, particles, or stars—that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, causing their trajectories to appear unpredictable over time. While they follow physical laws, small differences at the start can lead to vastly different outcomes, making the motion seem random, even though it's deterministic. This behavior is often seen in complex systems such as weather patterns, planetary systems, or turbulent fluids, where long-term prediction becomes practically impossible due to this sensitive dependence on initial states.
