At Apogee it is furthest from the Earth.
At Perigee it is nearest to the Earth.
The mean distance of the moon from the Earth is 242,000 miles.
However, the Moon moves in an ellipsoid path., with the Earth at one of the foci of the ellipse. Also its orbit is not co-planar with the Earth's orbit about the Sun, but slightly angled. As a consequence the Moon appears to move faster/slower during the lunar month, and, phases discounted, appears to be larger/smaller. Because of non-co-planarity we do not see a lunar/solar eclipse every months.

What is the farthest point from earth in the Moon's orbit?
At furthest apogee the Moon is 406700 km from the Earth (according to Wikipedia - I do not know if this is from the geometric center of the East to the geometric center of the Moon, from the barycenter of the Earth/Moon system, or from the surfaces of these bodies,)If the 406700 km is the geometric center's distances you add 4 600 km: (the radius of the Earth 6 378 km minus the Moon's radius 1 738 km to get the distance from the far side of the Earth to the near side of the Moon) 402 100 kmApoluneThe crossword answer asked for a seven letter solution,and apogee and apoapsis did not fit,so the correct answer is apolune
Is the moon at apogee near or far away from earth?
The word "apogee" is used to describe the farthest point away from Earth, while perigee is the closest point to Earth. This is used to describe the parameters of satellite orbits around the Earth. Both values may change due to gravitational variations.The word apogee is the adaptation of the term apsis which is the term for a farthest distance from some object, with gee (geo) meaning Earth.

When the Moon is at apogee it is how far away from the Earth?
It varies with each lunar orbit. However, a mean distance is approximately 225,000 miles. Like the Earth and the Sun, the Moob orbits the Earth in an ellipse (NOT a circle). The Earth being at one of the foci of the ellipse. This ellipse can vary between a very narrow ellipse to nearly circular; it is normal Newtonian mechanics. As a consequence of this variability the apogee and perigee can vary too.
How far do you have to be to see whole side of earth?
you have to be near the moon
What is the orbital far point called?
The farthest point in an orbit is called the apoapsis, or apogee in the case of Earth orbits. This is the point where the distance between the orbiting body and the primary body is the greatest.
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
