If you are a beginner and purchased your orchid at a grocery store, more than likely it is of the genus Phalaenopsis. Most common orchids, especially Phalaenopsis, are hybrids and it is difficult or impossible to identify the name. This isn’t to say your orchid can’t be identified. In many cases, it might be possible to somewhat identify the parents of your orchid.

it looks like a Rhynchostylis or some other vanda-alliance intergeneric hybrid (Rhynchorides/Perreiraara, or Rhynchocentrum)

It’s Vanda there’s a lot of different types big and small in the Vanda-Alliance and they are all mostly warm-loving and bright light and some not all, like and can tolerate the sun.
They originated from Asia around India and other southeastern parts of Asia .Also they like to grow their roots air free and Cascading down from their basket or clinging from a tree , without too much moving and relocations to avoid injury and breaking their roots, Which may promote bacteria or viruses getting into the roots, The way best is to spray or gentel hosing or misting their water and fertilize water to avoid injury to their roots, avoid dunking them in a bucket to avoid injury. Learned that from Vanda grower.
