A comet can approach Pluto the closest, as can Neptune.

A planet's closest approach to the sun is called perihelion. This is when the planet is at its nearest point to the sun in its elliptical orbit.
Periapsis - the closest approach to the Sun - is currently around January 3.

There were two "Voyagers". Voyager I's closest approach to Jupiter was on March 5, 1979. Voyater II's closest approach to Jupiter was on July 9, 1979.
We call the closest point of approach to the Sun "perihelion". "Peri-" from the Greek for near, and "helion" from the Greek "Helios" or "Sun".At perihelion, the Earth is at a distance of 147,098,074 kilometers or 91,402,506 miles.
Perihelion is when the Earth is closest to the sun.
The algorithm for finding the closest pair of points using the divide and conquer approach involves dividing the points into two halves, finding the closest pair in each half, and then checking for a closer pair that crosses the dividing line. This process is repeated recursively until the closest pair is found.
