What is MinOrbitSize in .cel set command?

Can anyone describe what the MinOrbitSize option is used for in the "set" command in .cel scripting?

Thank you.

This value is used when Celestia's render orbits option is terned on.
In general, when an object is very distant it's orbit path will not be shown. MinOrbitSize is the minimum radius (in pixels) which the orbit path must cover before Celestia will draw it.
