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.
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.
Perigee is the opposite of appogee. Perigee is the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is nearest to the earth. Apogee the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is furthest from the earth.
It is called Apsis. The point in the moon's orbit where that happens is the apogee of the orbit.
