the sun is the closest
Angular size. When the Moon is at perigee (closest approach to Earth) the Moon looks about 15% bigger than it does at apogee.
Because the Earth travels round the Sun in an elliptical orbit and at present the closest approach the Sun during that elliptical orbit occurs during the Northern winter. However precession of the axis of the Earth's rotation means that in about 12 thousand years time, the closest approach will be during the Northern Summer.
about 54.6 million kilometers
Its just a full moon during the period of the closest approach of the moon to the Earth.
The minimum distance of Jupiter from Earth (i.e. the closest approach) is equal to about 588.5x10^6 km.
We call the closest point of approach to the Sun "perihelion". "Peri-" from the Greek for near, and "helion" from the Greek "Helios" or "Sun".At perihelion, the Earth is at a distance of 147,098,074 kilometers or 91,402,506 miles.
Earth reaches perihelion, its closest approach to the sun, in early January.
The Sun is at perihelion at about January 3rd at a distance of 147,098,290 km. This is the closest approach to the Sun.
Venus is closest at 41,397,870 km or 25,723,443.84 miles. Comment: That's probably the distance of "closest approach", but often Venus will be much further away. Venus does get the closest to Earth, but it's not always the closest planet.
A comet can approach Pluto the closest, as can Neptune.
The distance between the planets can even vary at different oppositions. The closest possible opposition distance between Earth and Venus is 38 million kilometers. This is the closest that any planet comes to Earth. (The point when the planets are at their closest approach to each other is called opposition).
260km or 3 hours drive or 161 miles to the closest border crossing is at Carway directly south of Calgary.
