Why is Earths orbital velocity slowest on July 5?
Earth's orbital velocity is slowest on July 5 because that is when Earth is at aphelion, its farthest point from the Sun in its elliptical orbit. At this point, the gravitational pull from the Sun is weaker, causing Earth to move more slowly in its orbit.
An orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the earths rotational speed is called?
That's a 'geosynchronous' orbit. If it also happens to be over the equator, so that the satellite appears to stay at the same point in the sky, then it's a 'geostationary' orbit.
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).
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'.
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 term of the point in the Moon's orbit when it is closet to earth?
Perigee.
Where in the earths orbit is the sun located?
Earth's orbit is an ellipse; the Sun is at one of the ellipses focal points. (The other focal point has no astronomical significance.)
What is the distance from earths to the moon?
The distance actually depends on the orbit of the Earth and Moon, with 221,665 miles at the shortest point and 252,525 miles at the farthest point.

Point when earth is closet to the sun?
Perihelion
Is the direction of the earths orbit?
Which orbit would that be? The galactic orbit, the solar orbit, the local cluster orbit? From what viewpoint? Above or below the galactic plane, the planetary system plane, from the point of view of a different place in the local cluster than on earth itself?
When the earth in its closet point to the sun what does it call?
Periapsis
What is the opposite of apogee?
Perigee is the opposite of appogee. Perigee is the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is nearest to the earth. Apogee the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is furthest from the earth.
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).

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".
What are the nearest points of the orbit of earth called?
There is one single point in the Earth's orbit where it is closest to the sun. That point is called the "perihelion".
