The point is called a perigee.
The Moon orbits over the tropical areas, within about 28 degrees of latitude north or south. The point on the Earth which is absolutely the CLOSEST to the Moon would be the point when the Moon reaches its "perigee". But that point moves as the Moon orbits the Earth.
The moon is closest to Earth when it is at its perigee, which is the point in its orbit where it is nearest to our planet. This is due to the gravitational forces between Earth and the moon affecting their distance.
Perigee
the moon is the closest to the earth
Apogee refers to the point in an object's orbit when it is farthest from the Earth, while perigee refers to the point when it is closest. These terms are often used in the context of celestial bodies such as moons and satellites orbiting Earth.
The Moon orbits over the tropical areas, within about 28 degrees of latitude north or south. The point on the Earth which is absolutely the CLOSEST to the Moon would be the point when the Moon reaches its "perigee". But that point moves as the Moon orbits the Earth.
Because the Earth is rotating, the "closest point" to the Moon will be changing all the time. Also, the Moon is moving in its orbit, of course.
True. Perigee is the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
No
Perigee
Yes. High tides happen on the point on earth closest to the moon, and the opposite side of the earth.
The moon is closest to Earth when it is at its perigee, which is the point in its orbit where it is nearest to our planet. This is due to the gravitational forces between Earth and the moon affecting their distance.
That would be at the moment of the New Moon closest to perihelion, which happens to be the one closest to New Years day or January 2. The moon is then in between the Earth and sun, while the Earth/Moon system is closest to the sun.
