The point at which the Moon is furthest away from Earth is called apogee. During apogee, the Moon can appear smaller in the sky due to its increased distance from Earth. This phenomenon occurs approximately once a month as the Moon follows its elliptical orbit around our planet.

What is the furthest away from the moon?
The furthest point away from the moon is its apogee, which is the farthest distance in its orbit around Earth. This distance is approximately 253,000 miles (405,500 kilometers) from the moon.
How far away is the Moon from Earth this month?
I want to know the exact date the moon is furthest away from the earth.
Who is away from earth sun or moon or stars?
Moon is closest (¼ million miles), then the Sun (93 million miles), then the stars are the furthest (trillions of miles).
What is it called when the moon is closer to earth than usual?
It is called a supermoon by bharat date 20/3/2011 Yes, its called a supermoon in the popular terms, but in the technical or scientific terms it called being in the perigee phase of its orbit. When the moon is furthest away from the earth it is in the apogee phase of its orbit.
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 furthest away from the moon?
The furthest point away from the moon is its apogee, which is the farthest distance in its orbit around Earth. This distance is approximately 253,000 miles (405,500 kilometers) from the moon.
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 furthest point from Earth to the Moon's orbit?
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.
How far away is the Moon from Earth this month?

Point where moon is furthest from earth?
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.
Who is away from earth sun or moon or stars?
Moon is closest (¼ million miles), then the Sun (93 million miles), then the stars are the furthest (trillions of miles).

When the Moon is farthest from the Earth this point is called .?
The moon is said to be at its Perigee when at its closest point to the Earth, Apogee when at its furthest point. Perigee and Apogee can also be used for other objects when orbiting about the Earth. If we talk about objects orbiting the sun (such as the planets) we use the term Perihelion and Aphelion (the helion part coming from the latin name of helios for the sun). If the perigee coincides with a full moon, we get a `supermoon`. The moon is at its largest circumference as it is at its closest, and is also full.
The point Earth is farthest away from the Moon in its orbit is called what?
The point in the orbit of the moon or of an artificial satellite that is most distant from the center of the earth is called the 'apogee'.
When the lighted side of the moon faces away from earth it is called a?
new moon
What is the furthest distance man has been from earth?
To the moon 1969.
