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.
What else can I help you with?
The point a planet is farthest away from the sun in its orbit is called what?
A planet's farthest point from the sun in its orbit is called aphelion. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun.
What is the point in which a planet is the greatest distance away from the sun in its orbit called?
Aphelion is the point in a planet's orbit where it is farthest from the sun. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun in its orbital path.
When is the speed of a planet revolving around the sun the slowest?
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
What is the point at which a planet is at its greatest distance from the sun in its orbit?
That point is called aphelion. The related term for an object orbiting around a planet or other non-sun object is apogee.
What is the term for when a planet is at the point of its orbit nearest the sun?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
The point a planet is farthest away from the sun in its orbit is called what?
A planet's farthest point from the sun in its orbit is called aphelion. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun.
What is the Farthest point of the moon to its planet?
The farthest point in an orbit from the parent object is called apoapsis.
When a planet is far from the sun what is its orbit?
When a planet is far from the sun, its orbit tends to be elongated or more elliptical, resulting in a larger distance between the planet and the sun at its farthest point (aphelion) and a closer distance at its nearest point (perihelion). This type of orbit is known as a "farthest point" or "distant" orbit.
What are the points of a planet that are farthest and nearest the planet called?
The points farthest from a planet are called apoapsis, while the points nearest to a planet are called periapsis. Apoapsis is the farthest point in an orbit, and periapsis is the closest point in an orbit.
What is the point in which a planet is the greatest distance away from the sun in its orbit called?
Aphelion is the point in a planet's orbit where it is farthest from the sun. This is when the planet is at its greatest distance from the sun in its orbital path.
When is the speed of a planet revolving around the sun the slowest?
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?
The maximum distance from the sun in a planet's orbit is called its aphelion. This point is farthest from the sun, as opposed to the perihelion, which is its closest point.
Point in planet's orbit where the planet reaches its maximum distance from the Sun?
A planet's maximum distance from the Sun is known as its aphelion. This point occurs when the planet is at the farthest point in its elliptical orbit around the Sun. The distance between the planet and the Sun is greatest at aphelion.
What does aphelion mean?
It means the point where a planet, or other object, is farthest away from the Sun in its orbit.
What is the point at which a planet is at its greatest distance from the sun in its orbit?
That point is called aphelion. The related term for an object orbiting around a planet or other non-sun object is apogee.
What is the term for when a planet is at the point of its orbit nearest the sun?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
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.
