Pedigree refers to ancestry, and has nothing to do with astronomy.
You may be thinking of perigee, the closest point of approach to the Earth in an orbit.
Apogee is the opposite; the farthest away from the Earth in its orbit.
That point in the moon's orbit is called the "apogee".
The farthest point in the Moon's orbit around Earth is called the apogee. At apogee, the Moon is approximately 405,500 kilometers (251,966 miles) away from Earth.
"Apogee" is the term used to describe the point in the moon's orbit when it is farthest from Earth.
The point in the moon's orbit when it is furtherest from Earth is its apogee (app-oh-jee).
When farthest from earth it is at apogee.
An apogee is the point in the orbit of an object (such as a moon or a spacecraft) where it is furtherest from the center or surface of the object it is orbiting. The apogee of the moon is when it is furtherest from the earth's center.
"Apogee" means the point in the moon's orbit where it's farthest from earth.
its closer at perigee than at apogee.
That point in the moon's orbit is called the "apogee".
The farthest point in the Moon's orbit around Earth is called the apogee. At apogee, the Moon is approximately 405,500 kilometers (251,966 miles) away from Earth.
Apogee
"Apogee" is the term used to describe the point in the moon's orbit when it is farthest from Earth.
The furthest point from Earth in the Moon's orbit is known as the apogee. During apogee, the Moon can be approximately 405,500 kilometers (about 251,966 miles) away from Earth. This distance can vary slightly due to the Moon's elliptical orbit, but apogee represents the maximum distance the Moon reaches from our planet.
Apogee is the farthest distance between the moon (or a satellite) in its orbit around earth.
The point in the moon's orbit when it is furtherest from Earth is its apogee (app-oh-jee).
When farthest from earth it is at apogee.
The point where the Moon is furthest from Earth is called apogee. During apogee, the distance between the Earth and the Moon can be approximately 405,500 kilometers (about 252,000 miles). This distance varies due to the elliptical shape of the Moon's orbit. Apogee occurs approximately once every 27.3 days as the Moon completes its orbit around the Earth.
