There isn't really a point to the Sun, it just formed on its own, from an enormous cloud of gases which collected and compressed under its own gravity (the remainder of this cloud formed the planets, comets, and even all life on Earth). Without the Sun, however, life would be impossible, as the plants would not capture any energy from the Sun. This energy, once absorbed by plants, is used by animals that consume the plants, and animals that consume those animals, and ultimately all life on Earth, including humans. Also, the Sun heats the Earth and drives the weather. Without the Sun, Earth would be a very different place.
What else can I help you with?
What is the term for when a planet is at the point of its orbit nearest the sun?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
When is the speed of a planet revolving around the sun the slowest?
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
The horns of the crescent moon point where?
The horns of the crescent moon point in the direction of the sun.
What point in a planet's orbit is closest to the sun?
The perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet.It is different for each planet based on the elliptical variation, but will always occur at the same point in each orbit.
What do you call to the point where the earth is fastest from the sun?
Aphelion is the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is furthest from the sun.
Is the subsolar point on a planet the point that is closest to the sun?
No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.

What is the orbital far point?
The orbital far point, or aphelion, is the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is farthest away from the sun. This is in contrast to the perihelion, which is the point in the orbit where the object is closest to the sun.
What point in a planets oribits is closest to the sun?
perihelion is the point in a planets orbit when it is closest to the sun
At what time of day is the sun at its highest point in the sky?
The sun is at its highest point in the sky at noon.
The horns of the crescent moon point where?
The horns of the crescent moon point in the direction of the sun.
Is the Sun's core its hottest point?
the sun's core is the hottest part of the sun
What point in a planet's orbit is closest to the sun?
The perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet.It is different for each planet based on the elliptical variation, but will always occur at the same point in each orbit.
What is the farthest point of a planet's orbit from the sun?
The 'Apogee'. is the furthest point on a planets orbital track about the Sun. The 'Perigee' is the corresponding nearest point.
What is the point of the planet Mercury closest to the sun?
Mercury rotates (slowly) as it orbits the Sun. So, the point that's closest to the Sun changes with time.
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".
