Explanation:
An orbit on the other hand is simply present in a body with a certain mass, while an orbital exists for an electron as well as an atom. An orbit is the simple planar representation of an electron. An orbital refers to the dimensional motion of an electron around the nucleus in a three dimensional motion.

Answer:
What is the major difference between the orbit of Bohr's model and the orbital of the wave mechanical model? Orbit locates the electron in a position around the nucleus. Orbital is a probability map, which means we don't know exactly where the electron is. More like an electron cloud.
