In summary, a celestial body is any natural object in space, including planets, stars, moons, comets, asteroids, and galaxies. A perihelium is the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is closest to the sun. When a celestial body returns to its star for another perihelium, it has completed one full orbit and is making its way back to the point of closest approach before starting another orbit. The frequency of this return depends on the object's orbital period, which is determined by its distance from the star and its orbital velocity. Factors that can affect a celestial body's return to its star for another perihelium include gravitational pull from other objects, the shape of its orbit, and

No. A hyperbola is the path of an uncaptured body.
 

What is a celestial body?

A celestial body is any natural object that exists in space, such as planets, stars, moons, comets, asteroids, and galaxies.

What is a perihelium?

A perihelium is the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is closest to the sun.

What does it mean for a celestial body to return to its star for another perihelium?

This means that the celestial body has completed one full orbit around its star and is now making its way back to the point of closest approach (perihelium) before starting another orbit.

How often does a celestial body return to its star for another perihelium?

The frequency of a celestial body's return to its star for another perihelium depends on its orbital period, which is determined by its distance from the star and its orbital velocity.

What factors can affect a celestial body's return to its star for another perihelium?

The main factors that can affect a celestial body's return to its star for another perihelium include the gravitational pull of other objects in the solar system, the shape of the object's orbit, and any external forces acting upon the object.
