What is the highest point in an orbit?
The highest point in an orbit is called the apogee. It is the point where the spacecraft is farthest from the body it is orbiting.
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.
What is the point when earth is closest to the sun calles?
That's the point in Earth's orbit called "perihelion".The point in the orbit that's farthest from the sun is "aphelion".
What is the opposite of apogee?
Perigee is the opposite of appogee. Perigee is the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is nearest to the earth. Apogee the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is furthest from the earth.
What is The point at which the planet is closest to the sun to its orbit is called?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
What is term for the 2 points in the orbit of a satellite nearest or furthest from the sun?
Perihelion = The point in a body's orbit closest to the sun Aphelion = The point in a body's orbit furthest from the sun
What is pogee?
Apogee is the point at which a satellite in an elliptical orbit is At its apogee, the satellite travels slower than at any other point in its orbit.
What are the nearest points of the orbit of earth called?
There is one single point in the Earth's orbit where it is closest to the sun. That point is called the "perihelion".
What is the moon's furtherest orbit from earth called?
The point in the moon's orbit when it is furtherest from Earth is its apogee (app-oh-jee).
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 the Earth is in its orbit and is at its closest point to the sun it is said to be at?
The earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, so there is a point at which we are nearest to the sun, and a point at which we are farthest from it. The point in the orbit at which we are nearest the sun is called "perihelion". The earth passes that point at some time during the first few days in January. In 2011, it happened on January 3. The point in the orbit at which we are farthest from the sun is called "aphelion". We pass it at some time during the first few days of July.
What is meant by apgee and perigee?
These terms represent two points in any non-circular satellite orbit around the earth.Perigee: The point in the orbit that is closest to the earth.Apogee: The point in the orbit that is farthest from the earth.
