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.
Is the ISS a geostationary orbit or a polar orbit?
Neither. A polar orbit means that the station orbits at an inclination of about 90 degrees North (or South). This can occur at any reasonable altitude (apogee or perigee), typically around 250 and 350 miles. A geostationary orbit MUST have an inclination of 0 degrees--above the equator; AND have an apogee/perigee between 22,000--23,000 miles. The ISS was built and intended to be visited by the Space Shuttle. The Space Shuttle was incapable of orbiting higher than 500 miles. So if the ISS were in a geosynchronous orbit, the Shuttle could never have reached it. One of the disadvantages of a polar orbit is that one loses the velocity benefit of Earth's Eastward rotation. It takes extra fuel to place the same payload at the same altitude in a polar orbit, versus a typical Eastward orbit. The ISS is in a Low-Earth orbit with an apogee/perigee of about 250 miles, and an inclination of about 57 degrees.
When the moon is at perigee it is how far away from the heart?
When the moon is at perigee, it is the closest point in its orbit to Earth, typically about 363,300 kilometers (226,000 miles) away. This distance can vary slightly due to the elliptical shape of the moon's orbit. Perigee does not have a direct measurement in relation to the human heart, as the heart's position is not relevant to astronomical distances. However, for context, the distance from the Earth’s surface to the moon at perigee is significantly greater than any human scale.
What is it meant by apogee and perigee?
Both of those words refer to points in the orbit of an earth satellite ... the moon or any artificial satellite. Apogee . . . the point in the orbit where the satellite is farthest from the earth. Perigee . . . the point in the orbit where the satellite is closest to the earth.
Which statement best describes perigee?
Perigee is the point in the orbit of the moon or a satellite at which it is nearest to the earth.
What is the distance of perigee?
The distance of perigee is the point in an object's orbit that is closest to the center of the body it is orbiting around, such as a planet or a star. The distance of perigee varies depending on the specific orbit and the object in question.
What is the lunar perigee?
The side of the orbit of the moon that is closest to the Earth is the lunar perigee.
When does the moon reaches its perigee?
The perigee is the part of the Moon's orbit when the Moon is closest to the Earth. This happens once a month.
What exactly does perigee mean?
Perigee relates to the orbit of the moon. For example, perigee is defined as the moment when the moon is orbiting "closest" to the Earth. Apogee, the opposite of perigee, is when the moon is orbiting "farthest" away from the Earth.
What is meant by apogee and pengee?
Apogee means Far from the earth..... It's not Pengee its Perigee... Perigee means near from the earth...
What is the term of the point in the Moon's orbit when it is closet to earth?
Perigee.
What is the median of a normal distribution to outlier as lunar perigee is to lunar?
The median of a normal distribution to outlier as lunar perigee is to lunar is an elliptical orbit.
