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 point at which a planet is at its greatest distance from the sun in its orbit?
That point is called aphelion. The related term for an object orbiting around a planet or other non-sun object is apogee.
What do you call the point in a satellite's orbit farthest from its planet?
In general the farthest point in a satellite's orbit from its focus is its apoapsis. If the focus is the Sun or Earth however then you would say the satellite's farthest point is its aphelion and apogee, respectively.
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".
What Is Aphelion?
The aphelionis the point in the orbit of a planet or comet where it is farthest from the Sun. The Earth reaches its aphelion when the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing summer. The point in orbit where a planet or comet is nearest to the sun is called the perihelion. The word aphelionderives from the Greekwords, apomeaning away, off, apart and Helios(the Greek god of the sun). Earth's aphelion usually occurs sometime around July 4.

What is term for the 2 points in the orbit of a satellite nearest or furthest from the sun?
Perihelion = The point in a body's orbit closest to the sun Aphelion = The point in a body's orbit furthest from the sun
What best defines the term perihelion?
Point of a planetary orbit nearest the Sun (per= close, Helios= Sun)
What is perhilion?
There seems to be a typo in your question. The correct term is "perihelion," which is the point in the orbit of a planet or comet where it is closest to the Sun.
What is the super moons scientific name?
The correct term for the commonized colloquialism "Supermoon" is perigee, meaning the nearest point in its orbit.
What is the medical term meaning nearest the point of attachment?
Proximal is the medical term meaning nearest the point of attachment.
What is the point of a planet closets to the sun?
That is often called the perihelion. But it is probably better to use the generic term, that applies to ANY orbit: periapsis.
What do you call the point in a satellite's orbit farthest from its planet?
In general the farthest point in a satellite's orbit from its focus is its apoapsis. If the focus is the Sun or Earth however then you would say the satellite's farthest point is its aphelion and apogee, respectively.
What is perihelim?
The term "perihelion" refers to the point in its orbit when a planet or other celestial body is closest to the Sun. This creates a situation where the body experiences its maximum gravitational acceleration from the Sun, which can affect its motion and orbit.
What term means position when a planet is nearest the sun?
Perihelion
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".
