... With enough velocity, a spacecraft can break loose from the Earth's gravity and enter an orbit around the Sun, like that of a planet. If it then orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth--one year--it may keep a fixed position relative to Earth. ... If the distance is just right--about 4 times the distance to the Moon or 1/100 the distance to the Sun--the spacecraft, too, will need just one year to go around the Sun, and will keep its position between the Sun and the Earth. ...

For vi , a line is the string of characters between two <RETURN> characters. Although vi will automatically wrap the text onto a new line when it reaches the right-hand side of the screen, it does not insert a <RETURN> character. ... Adding a <RETURN> at the end of every line ensures that the appearance of the text on your screen corresponds to vi 's understanding of how text is structured. Setting the wrapmargin option automatically inserts a <RETURN> character whenever vi wraps text. ...
