The lowest point of an orbit is called the "perigee" in the context of Earth orbits, or "periapsis" in general orbital mechanics. At this point, the orbiting object is closest to the body it is orbiting, resulting in the highest speed due to gravitational attraction. Conversely, the highest point of the orbit is called "apogee" (or "apoapsis"). These points are critical for understanding orbital dynamics and the behavior of satellites and celestial bodies.
