What is the Farthest point of the moon to its planet?
The farthest point in an orbit from the parent object is called apoapsis.
What is the difference between periapsis and apoapsis in orbital mechanics?
Periapsis is the point in an orbit closest to the body being orbited, while apoapsis is the point farthest from the body being orbited. These terms are used in orbital mechanics to describe the closest and farthest points of an object's orbit around another object in space.
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.
How big is the sun to the earth?
Its apparent diameter is about half a degree, or 30 minutes. It actually varies a bit, depending on whether the Earth is in periapsis or in apoapsis.
When would the gravitational pull between the earth and moon be the weakest?
That's when the Moon is farthest from Earth - in other words, at apoapsis.
What is the point in the moon is farthest from the earth?
The point in a body's orbit when it is farthest from its primary is apoapsis. For the specific case of a body orbiting Earth, you can also use the term apogee.
What is an apocentre?
An apocentre is another name for an apoapsis, the point of a body's elliptical orbit around its system's centre of mass where the distance between the body and the centre of mass is at its maximum.
What point at which a planet is the greatest distance away from the sun in its orbit is called?
That is called apapsis or apoapsis. For orbits that are specifically around the Sun, the term aphelion is also used.
At time the planet is farthest from the sun?
Yes, and at other times it is closer.When it is closest, the planet orbiting the Sun (or any other object, orbiting anything else) is said to be in periapsis; when it is furthest away, it is in apapsis or apoapsis.
What are the names of Neptune's moons in order of discovery?
14 moons as of 2013,starting with nareid,apoapsis,periapsis,proteus,naiad,thalassay,despina,galatia,larissa, triton being the largest , and the new smallest s 2004n/1.
How much does the moon look in the sky during the super moon?
The difference is hard to notice without special instruments. The distance to the Moon at periapsis is about 363,000 km; at apoapsis the distance is about 405,000 km - a difference of about 12%. That will also be the apparent difference in size.
What do you call the point in a satellite's orbit farthest from its planet?
In general the farthest point in a satellite's orbit from its focus is its apoapsis. If the focus is the Sun or Earth however then you would say the satellite's farthest point is its aphelion and apogee, respectively.
