jQuery plugin to make an element orbit another? [closed]

Question

REVISED: Are there any jQuery plugins that can revolve one element around another?

EDIT: By "orbiting", I mean rotating on the same z-index around another element.

You could use the ".animate()" method to modify the "top" and "left" properties of the element. Here is an example fiddle.

HTML:

  <div id='moon' > moon  </div>
  <div id='earth'> earth </div>

CSS:

#moon        {position:        absolute;
             top:             0px;
             left:            0px;
             width:           50px;
             height:          50px;
             background-color: #aaaaff;}
#earth      {position:        absolute;
             top:             50px;
             left:            50px;
             width:           50px;
             height:          50px;
             background-color: #ffaaaa;}

Javascript:

 $('#moon').animate({left: 100}, 2000)
           .animate({top:  100}, 2000)
           .animate({left:   0}, 2000)
           .animate({top:    0}, 2000);
