What is the astronomical term for the point at which the sun is furthest from equator?
Point of Planet Closest to the SunSubsolar point, I think. The sub-solar point is the point on the planet's surface where the Sun is (at some given moment) directly overhead. So it is the place on the planet's surface momentarily closest to the Sun.However the question asks where the planet is nearest the Sun, so I'd say this means a point in its orbit where it's closest. This is called perihelion (the furthest point from the Sun on an orbit is aphelion). The Earth currently reaches perihelion in early January.------If one considers the orbiting planet around the Sun, the closest point is called Perihelion. Peri for close and Helion for Sun. The furthest point is the Aphelion.
When is sun closest to equator?
in the northern hemisphere the sun is closest to earth in the dead of winter
What is the place on a planet that is closest to the sun called?
equator
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.
Does the equator receive direct sunlight and why?
Yes, the equator receives direct sunlight because it is the closest point on Earth to the sun along its axial tilt. This means that the sun's rays hit the equator at a near 90-degree angle, resulting in more direct and intense sunlight compared to other latitudes.
On Mercury what is the point closest to the sun?
Mercury's axial tilt is pretty much zero, so the surface point closest to the sun will always be on the equator, at the point directly facing the sun (which changes with Mercury's rotation and orbit).
What state in Australia is closest to the equator?
Queensland is closest to the equator, as it has Australia's northernmost point.

equator
What point of the planet is closest too the sun?
They are all exposed to sun light; none of them is closed to the sun. However, from the distance of Neptune the sun is barely discernible from the other stars in the sky, and the dark half of Mercury gets extremely cold because its day is so very long.
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
Which place in Pakistan is closest to the Equator?
The point on the southeastern seacoast of Pakistan where the coast meets Indiaand the Indian Ocean is the closest point to the Equator. The distance to the equatorfrom there is about 1,630 miles.
Is the sun point the poit of the planet closest to the sun?
no, it is not a planet the closest is merkury
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.
Why is July in the Gulf of Mexico hotter then July in Arizona?
Proximity to the Equator. The Gulf is further south closer to the horizontal mid-point in the earth where it is closest to the sun. The sun is what provides heat for the earth.
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.
