Yes, a circuit is a circumference,
No a circuit is not a circumference - it is a pathway. (See any competent English dictionary.)

What a wonderful representation of the path of the planets around the sun.

circuit is not a circumference
It can be, there are a lot of mentions of circle in that page you sent me. But if you want to interpret it in that way, I will have to go back to the Word, "circle", meaning circle, the flat geometric figure created by drawing a circumference around it with a compass. Because that is what is written, circle, not circuit.
the path of the planets around the sun
So, now it's a circle, alright. Anyways, the earth does not move around the sun. The sun moves around the earth.

Isaiah 38:8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

-So this circle, cannot be the circuit of the earth, because the earth does not move. If you want to interpret as circuit, it must be the circuit of the sun around the circle of the earth. And you would be alone in your own understanding, because I don't see any translation where it was translated as circuit, not in Proverbs 8:27.
They translate it as circle, mainly, the circle of the earth, it's circumference drawn with a compass, on the flat surface of the deep. A flat two dimmentional circle, which is what the compass draws. I see no reason to reject the Witness of Divine Wisdom, documented by Solomon in Scripture.
 
1 John 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Proverbs 8:27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
