Its called the new moon because its reached its beginning to new phrase, so the new moon is dark you can't see it, but its still there it's just blending with the night sky.

When the Earth is in its orbit and is at its closest point to the sun it is said to be at?
The earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, so there is a point at which we are nearest to the sun, and a point at which we are farthest from it. The point in the orbit at which we are nearest the sun is called "perihelion". The earth passes that point at some time during the first few days in January. In 2011, it happened on January 3. The point in the orbit at which we are farthest from the sun is called "aphelion". We pass it at some time during the first few days of July.
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 term is used for moon at apogee and perigee position?
It means in Latin-Greek, "Closest to the Earth" and refers to a position in an orbit. Apogee means "Farthest from the Earth"Another answerAccording to the Free Dictionary by Farlex, "The point in any orbit nearest to the body being orbited."
What is the farthest point inside the earth called?
inner core
How to calculate an aphelion distance?
When an object is closest to the Sun in its orbit around the Sun, that is called perihelion; the farthest point in the orbit is called aphelion. The generic names (making reference to any central body, and not the Sun specifically) are periapsis and apoapsis (or apapsis).
When the moon is farthest from the earth this point is what?
The point in the Moon's orbit where it is furthest from the Earth is called the apogee.
What is the point when earth is closest to the sun calles?
That's the point in Earth's orbit called "perihelion".The point in the orbit that's farthest from the sun is "aphelion".
The point Earth is farthest away from the Moon in its orbit is called what?
The point in the orbit of the moon or of an artificial satellite that is most distant from the center of the earth is called the 'apogee'.
What is it called when the moon is the farthest away from the earth?
It is called Apsis. The point in the moon's orbit where that happens is the apogee of the orbit.

What is the term that relates to the moon farthest distance from the earth?

What is the farthest point from earth in the moons orbit?
apogee
Farthest point from Earth of the moon's orbit?
apogee
What is the position called at which an artificial satellite is farthest from earth in its orbit?
The generic name (for such a point in the orbit) is apapsis. Specifically for an orbit around Earth, the name "apogee" is also used.
What do you call the point in a satellite's orbit farthest from its planet?
In general the farthest point in a satellite's orbit from its focus is its apoapsis. If the focus is the Sun or Earth however then you would say the satellite's farthest point is its aphelion and apogee, respectively.
What is the Farthest point of the moon to its planet?
The farthest point in an orbit from the parent object is called apoapsis.
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.
