In addition to the two solutions mentioned, you can create a circular or elliptical path in the 2D Shaper, and then assign that path to your orbiting planet. If your orbits can be seen from the Top view, you can use the Display/3D Display function in the Shaper to position your path before importing it in the Keyframer. If it's a different axis, send the circular shape into the 3D Lofter first, and then use 3D Display in the Lofter, and use Path/Rotate to set its angle before importing it to the Keyframer. (This is also the best method for assigning a rotational path to a camera or target.) – Jack
