Ummm. Isn’t “the Earth’s orbit” the path of the earth around the sun? Would not ‘Artemis II leaves orbit around the earth’ be more accurate?#Artemis https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c937g7nd5x4o

@Gaolaitch bit easier in German: Erdorbit is (usually) the one of satellites, Orbit der Erde is the one around the sun, both are genitive constructions, but the agglutinised one can have a distinct meaning

@Gaolaitch ok, sorry. What I meant is, it can have both meanings, and English unhappily doesn’t have a grammatical construction to make them easily distinguishable.
