How to make 'orbit' simulation

Hey,
I’ve been asked to make a video like ‘Odesza - behind the sun’. but i’m struggling with the orbiting meteors. offcourse you have the vortex forcefield, but this pulls the particles inward. What would be the best way to create a force that acts like a hurricane/orbit?

greetings

Instead of using forces, you could just create a kind of (invisible) torus that rotates, put some particles inside that are your meteors, and they are rotating on themselves?

You can make some orbits using a method like this which could give you as much flexibility as you need.

Hope that helps.

Thanks to both of you!
since the first plan was to make the meteors interact with forces, the geometry nodes variant doesnt really work. The torus one might have some options.
but ofcourse all over sudden there is no budget for complex simulations:P
but thanks for the help:)
