When a planet is closest to its sun it's called perihelion.
Perihelion
Periapsis
The point on Earth's orbit when it is closest to the sun is called perihelion. At perihelion, Earth is approximately 147 million kilometers (91 million miles) away from the sun, compared to its farthest point, aphelion.
The Moon is the closest to my planet called Earth, followed by the Sun and then Uranus.
extraterrestrial...? wait, sorry, it's 'inferior planets'.
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil

well actually the moon is way far away to the sun but to us they are close but it is always called the moon but once its the moon on top pf the sun or the other way around its called an eclipse
A planet's farthest point from the sun in its orbit is called aphelion. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun.
They are all exposed to sun light; none of them is closed to the sun. However, from the distance of Neptune the sun is barely discernible from the other stars in the sky, and the dark half of Mercury gets extremely cold because its day is so very long.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.
