What is the difference between a bound orbit and an unbound orbit around the Sun?
A) An object on a bound orbit follows the same path around the Sun over and over, while an object on an unbound orbit approaches the Sun just once and then never returns.
B) An object on a bound orbit has a gravitational attraction to the Sun, while an object on an unbound orbit does not.
C) A bound orbit is an orbit allowed by the universal law of gravitation, and an unbound orbit is not.
