The point in the orbit of the moon or of an artificial satellite that is most distant from the center of the earth is called the 'apogee'.
The sun. Aphelion is the point in Earth's orbit where it is farthest from the sun.
A planet's farthest point from the sun in its orbit is called aphelion. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun.
Apogee
If a satellite is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, the Earth will be at one of the focii. The speed of the satellite will then constantly be changing. It will move the fastest when it is nearest to the Earth (perigee) and slowest when it is furthest away (apogee).
It is called Apsis. The point in the moon's orbit where that happens is the apogee of the orbit.
The farthest point in the Moon's orbit around Earth is called the apogee. At apogee, the Moon is approximately 405,500 kilometers (251,966 miles) away from Earth.
It means the point where a planet, or other object, is farthest away from the Sun in its orbit.
the point of the moon's orbit when it is farthest away from earth
Any object in a closed orbit moves slowest when it's at the point farthest away from the central body.If the central body happens to be the sun, then the point in the orbit that's farthest from the sun iscalled "aphelion". The earth passes aphelion on July 3 or 4.
The orbital far point, or aphelion, is the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is farthest away from the sun. This is in contrast to the perihelion, which is the point in the orbit where the object is closest to the sun.
It comes from Greek apo- which means "away from". Thus "aphelion" is the point in a body's orbit when it is farthest away from the Sun (helios) and "apogee' is the point where a body orbiting the Earth is farthest from the Earth (geos).
