  In this paper, we derive the solutions of orbit equations for a class of
naked singularity spacetimes, and compare these with timelike orbits, that is,
particle trajectories in the Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. The
Schwarzschild and naked singularity spacetimes considered here can be formed as
end state of a spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a matter cloud.
We find and compare the perihelion precession of the particle orbits in the
naked singularity spacetime with that of the Schwarzschild black hole. We then
discuss different distinguishable physical properties of timelike orbits in the
black hole and naked singularity spacetimes and implications are discussed.
Several interesting differences follow from our results, including the
conclusion that in naked singularity spacetimes, particle bound orbits can
precess in the opposite direction of particle motion, which is not possible in
Schwarzschild spacetime.
