What point in a planet's orbit is closest to the sun?
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.
The point at which the planet is closest to the sun in its orbit is called?
perihelion
What is the term for when a planet is at the point of its orbit nearest the sun?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
When a planet is closest to the sun in its orbit?
Closest point is called the perihelion; furthest from sun is aphelion.
What is a planet's closest approach to the sun called?
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.
What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?
The maximum distance from the sun in a planet's orbit is called its aphelion. This point is farthest from the sun, as opposed to the perihelion, which is its closest point.
What point in the planet orbit is closest to the sun?
This is the Perihelion.
What is it called When a planet's orbit takes it closer to the sun?
revolution
What are the points of a planet that are farthest and nearest the planet called?
The points farthest from a planet are called apoapsis, while the points nearest to a planet are called periapsis. Apoapsis is the farthest point in an orbit, and periapsis is the closest point in an orbit.
What is perhelion?
It's the point in a planet's orbit when it is closest to the sun! :)
At what part of an elliptical orbit does a satellite have the greatest speed the least speed?
in the orbit of a planet there is a point called perihelion which is closest point to the sun and aphelion which is furthest from the sun . Moment of a planet in it's elliptical orbit reaches it's maximum in perihelion
What is the point at which a planet is at its smallest distance from the sun in its orbit?
All the planets orbit in a perfect circle, so they always stay the same distance from the sun, except Pluto, which is why it is now a "Dwarf Planet".
