The kind that takes more than 2 months to ‘complete’. From the perspective of the earth it makes a horseshoe shape. From the ‘temporary moon’ perspective it gets a trajectory adjustment on its solar orbit.
It’s more like a gravity assist that takes 2 months to complete than an orbit.
It’s a parabola or hyperbola. Of course, it’s not technically an “orbit” since it isn’t closed; the Wikipedia pages are called Parabolic trajectory and Hyperbolic trajectory.
what? what kind of orbit is that?
