What point in a planet's orbit is closest to the sun?
The perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet.It is different for each planet based on the elliptical variation, but will always occur at the same point in each orbit.
What is perhillion?
Perhillion is the the point of orbit where a planet is closest to the sun
What is the term for when a planet is at the point of its orbit nearest the sun?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil

When is a planet farthest from the sun?
The distance that a planet is from the Sun differs depending on the planet. However, for this question, I will use Earth. Earth is closest to the Sun when the Northern Hemisphere is in it's winter months. This is about December 21st. During Summer, The month of June, Earth is Furthest from the Sun.The point when an object is at its furthest point from the Sun in its orbit is called "aphelion".
