maybe with texture 3D?

Agreed. This definitely looks like a model or texture, with a collider, so the orbit and the planet highlight when hovering over the orbit or planet. So if your planets are on a fixed path, then create a model of the orbit path. If your planets are not on a fixed path (ie non-kinematic rigidbodies affected by forces), well then that is going to be a headache.

You could visualise them with a line renderer too - then you just need to sample some points on the orbit.
