"orbit left" gives a direction of turn for example if you are downwind right in a circuit pattern it will keep you away from the airfield "make 360" gives no direction and you could therefore turn in any direction: In the circuit or in the vicinity of an airfield you may well be given a direction and even in the upper air. If I'm asked to do a 360, then I ask for a direction.
