Point at which a planet is farthest away from the Sun?
Aphelion. The furthest point of any orbiting body is called the apoapsis, with the closest approach being called the periapsis or pericentre, though for different bodies, unique derivitive terms are used. For example, when we talk of object in orbit about the Earth we use perigee and apogee for closest and furthest positions. When we are talking about objects in orbit around the sun, such as the planets, we use perihelion and aphelion for closest and furthest approches.
