What characterizes the predictability of a macroscopic Orbit versus a microscopic Orbital?

Orbit is deterministic; Orbital is probabilistic.

A core conceptual divide in science lies in the predictability of these two concepts. A macroscopic orbit, such as that of the Moon around the Earth, is governed by classical mechanics. If the initial conditions—position and velocity—are known, the path is entirely predictable over time; it is deterministic. In stark contrast, the microscopic atomic orbital is governed by quantum mechanics. It is a region of probability defined by the wave function ($\ ext{Psi}^2$). Consequently, one can only state the likelihood of finding an electron in a specific region; the exact location at any instant remains uncertain, making the description inherently probabilistic rather than deterministic.
