What is an "outer orbit"?

Answer by  Andrew3012 (7)

In an atom electrons can occupy certain specific orbits around the nucleus, but not the spaces between them. An electron can jump from one orbit to another, emitting or absorbing light. The orbit furthest out will be called the 'outer orbit' and the closer one the 'inner orbit'.
