Non-inclined orbit
A non-inclined orbit is an orbit coplanar with a plane of reference. The orbital inclination is 0° for prograde orbits, and π for retrograde ones. If the plane of reference is a massive spheroid body's equatorial plane, these orbits are called equatorial; if the plane of reference is the ecliptic plane, they are called ecliptic.
As these orbits lack nodes, the ascending node is usually taken to lie in the reference direction, and thus the longitude of the ascending node is taken to be zero. Also, the argument of periapsis is undefined.
Geostationary orbit is a geosynchronous example of an equatorial orbit.
