You probably mean "aphelion", which is the term to use for a body orbiting around a sun. Aphelion is when a body, like the earth, is at its farthest point in its orbit around its sun. When the earth is at aphelion, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. People in the northern hemisphere are enjoying summer at that time. It does seem odd to us (in the north) that summer happens when earth is farthest from the sun, but remember that it is the tilt of earth's axis that gives rise to the seasons, and not our absolute distance from the sun.
What else can I help you with?
Is the sun closest to the earth during the summer or winter solstice?
It Is closest to the earth In the winter.
Why does the angular diameter of the sun as seen from earth appear to be greater during our winter than summer?
earth is closer to the Sun during our winter
Why is hotter in summer than in winter in some countries?
More of the Sun's rays directly hit a particular region on Earth during the summer than during the winter.
In A Southern Hemsphere in winter the earth leans toward or away from the sun?
During the southern Hemisphere winter, the earth's north pole 'leans' toward the sun, while its south pole 'leans' away from the sun.
What kind of rays are earth getting during winter from the sun?
During winter, the Earth receives sunlight at a lower angle, which means the solar rays are spread over a larger area. This results in reduced solar intensity and shorter daylight hours. Additionally, the atmosphere may scatter and absorb some of the solar radiation, further diminishing the warmth felt during this season. Consequently, the rays that reach the Earth's surface during winter are less direct and less intense compared to other seasons.
When is the moon closest to earth during orbit?
During its Perigee 363,104 km, at its apogee its 405,696 km distance.
How far is the earth from the moon at perigee At apogee?
its closer at perigee than at apogee.
Is the moon apogee near to or far from the earth?
"Apogee" means the point in the moon's orbit where it's farthest from earth.
What is the farthest point from earth in the moons orbit?
The farthest point in the Moon's orbit around Earth is called the apogee. At apogee, the Moon is approximately 405,500 kilometers (251,966 miles) away from Earth.
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 meant by apogee and pengee?
Apogee means Far from the earth..... It's not Pengee its Perigee... Perigee means near from the earth...
Because the orbit of the moon is not a perfect circle there are times when it is closer to Earth When the moon is closest to Earth it is said to be at perigee When farthest from the Earth it is at?
When farthest from earth it is at apogee.
What is the highest point a rocket reaches during flight?
The highest point a rocket reaches during its flight is typically the apogee, which is the point of maximum altitude. This is the point where the rocket reaches its peak altitude before descending back to Earth.
What is a apogee?
An apogee is the point in the orbit of an object (such as a moon or a spacecraft) where it is furtherest from the center or surface of the object it is orbiting. The apogee of the moon is when it is furtherest from the earth's center.
What is a sentence for the word apogee?
Apogee is the farthest distance between the moon (or a satellite) in its orbit around earth.
Point in which the moon is farthest from the earth?
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.
