What is the literal meaning of apogee?
the point of the moon's orbit when it is farthest away from earth
What is meant by apogee and perigree?
Apogee refers to the point in an object's orbit when it is farthest from the Earth, while perigee refers to the point when it is closest. These terms are often used in the context of celestial bodies such as moons and satellites orbiting Earth.
Aphelion is the term for when the earth's orbit brings it farthest away from what?
The sun. Aphelion is the point in Earth's orbit where it is farthest from the sun.
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".
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'.

What do you call the farthest point satelite?
The farthest point a satellite in orbit around the Earth can be from the Earth is called apogee. This is the point in the orbit where the satellite is the farthest from Earth.
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".
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'.
What word is used to describe the moon at its farthest point from Earth?
"Apogee" is the term used to describe the point in the moon's orbit when it is farthest from Earth.
At which point in its orbit does earth move slowest?
Any object in a closed orbit moves slowest when it's at the point farthest away from the central body.If the central body happens to be the sun, then the point in the orbit that's farthest from the sun iscalled "aphelion". The earth passes aphelion on July 3 or 4.
What is the moon's furtherest orbit from earth called?
The point in the moon's orbit when it is furtherest from Earth is its apogee (app-oh-jee).
Why is there perigee?
The moons orbit is not a circle its an ellipse. One of the sides of the elliptical orbit is 50,000 miles closer to earth. The moon reaches this spot on its orbit once every 18 years give or take. Hence, at some point in it's orbit, it is the farthest from earth, and at another point is it closest to earth. "Apogee" is when it is at it's furthest point from earth, "perigee" is when it's closest. It went through perigee just the other night.
