Equipment orbiting Earth or Venus? (6)
I believe the answer is:
planet
'venus?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'equipment orbiting earth' is the wordplay.
'equipment' becomes 'plant' (I have seen 'Industrial equipment ' mean 'plant' so perhaps 'equipment' could also mean 'plant').
'orbiting' is an insertion indicator.
'earth' becomes 'e'.
'plant' going around 'e' is 'PLANET'.
'or' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for planet that I've seen before include "body in orbit" , "Earth perhaps" , "Earth, for example" , "Celestial body that revolves around the sun" , "World" .)
