What is the orbital far point called?
For objects in orbit around the sun, it's the aphelion. For objects in Earth orbit, it's the 'apogee', and in orbit around the moon, it's the 'apolune'.
When babies eyes are set far apart what is it called?
Orbital hypertelorism
What is the point in the moon's elliptical orbit where it is farthest from earth?
That point is called apogee and it rotates round the orbital plane every 19 years.
What describes the speed of a planet traveling in an elliptical orbit around the Sun?
As the planet approaches perihelion (point of nearest approach to the Sun), its orbital velocity gets faster, and it is fastest at perihelion. Similarly, at aphelion (point of furthest approach to the Sun), the orbital velocity is slowest.
How far is pulto from sun?
Pluto's average orbital distance is 5.9 million km from the Sun, or 39 AU
What is the nearest orbital point?
Perigee
What does the words orbital speed mean?
Orbital speed is the velocity (speed) of an object as it travels an orbital path around a reference point.
An electron in an orbital that penetrates closer to the nucleus will always experience more shielding than an electron in an orbital that does not penetrate as far?
False

What is the farthest point of a planet's orbit from the sun?
The 'Apogee'. is the furthest point on a planets orbital track about the Sun. The 'Perigee' is the corresponding nearest point.
Is the moon in a geostationary orbit about the earth?
No. A satellite in geostationary orbit remains stationary over a single point on the earth's equator. It must have an altitude of 22,236 miles above the earth, which makes its orbital period exactly one day. The moon is much too far away for that; its orbital period is 28 earth days.
How much is the axialtilt of mercury?
As far as has been possible to observe so far, Mercury's tilt is listed as "probably zero".In other words, its equator is thought to lie in its orbital plane, and its axis of rotation is thought to be perpendicular to its orbital plane.
What is the definition for orbital period?
The time it takes for something to go completely around a fixed point.
What is the point in the moon's elliptical orbit where it is farthest from earth?
That point is called apogee and it rotates round the orbital plane every 19 years.
What is the point in the moon elliptical orbit where it is farthest from the earth?
That point is called apogee and it rotates round the orbital plane every 19 years.
How far is planet mars closest to earth?
the distance between their "average" orbital paths is 78,341,212 Km
