Who is away from earth sun or moon or stars?
Moon is closest (¼ million miles), then the Sun (93 million miles), then the stars are the furthest (trillions of miles).
When the Moon is farthest from the Earth this point is called .?
The moon is said to be at its Perigee when at its closest point to the Earth, Apogee when at its furthest point. Perigee and Apogee can also be used for other objects when orbiting about the Earth. If we talk about objects orbiting the sun (such as the planets) we use the term Perihelion and Aphelion (the helion part coming from the latin name of helios for the sun). If the perigee coincides with a full moon, we get a `supermoon`. The moon is at its largest circumference as it is at its closest, and is also full.
