no, it is not a planet the closest is merkury
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
The planet Mercury is closest to the sun, at about three-tenths Earth's distance at the nearest point in its orbit.
The perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet.It is different for each planet based on the elliptical variation, but will always occur at the same point in each orbit.
Closest point is called the perihelion; furthest from sun is aphelion.
This is the Perihelion.
Mercury rotates (slowly) as it orbits the Sun. So, the point that's closest to the Sun changes with time.
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun.
perihelion
Perhillion is the the point of orbit where a planet is closest to the sun
It's the point in a planet's orbit when it is closest to the sun! :)
No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.
When a planet is closest to its sun it's called perihelion.
