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?
That point in the moon's orbit is called the "apogee".
What is the farthest point from earth in the moons orbit?
apogee
Farthest point from Earth of the moon's orbit?
apogee
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.
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".

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 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 is the Farthest point of the moon to its planet?
The farthest point in an orbit from the parent object is called apoapsis.
