What are EITHER OF two points on the orbit of a planet of greatest or least distance from the central body?

The point on the orbit of a planet that is farthest from the central body is called the aphelion, while the point that is closest is known as perihelion. The distance between the planet and the central body varies depending on its position in the orbit.


What is the farthest points in the differen directions?

The farthest point north is the North Pole, south is the South Pole, east is the point on the Earth's surface farthest from the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, and west is the point on the Earth's surface farthest from the 180th meridian.

How does the shape of a planet influence its temperature?

The shape of a planet can influence its temperature by affecting the distribution of sunlight across its surface. A planet with a more elliptical orbit may experience greater temperature variations between its closest and farthest points from the sun. Additionally, the tilt of a planet's axis can lead to seasonal temperature changes as different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.


What sequences lists the methods for determining distance in the correct order from nearest to farthest?

The methods for determining distance, listed from nearest to farthest, typically include: 1) Direct measurement (using tools like a tape measure), 2) Triangulation (using angles from known points), 3) GPS-based measurements (utilizing satellite data), and 4) Astronomical methods (such as parallax or redshift for cosmic distances). Each method's applicability depends on the context and scale of the distance being measured.

What are high low points in elliptical orbit called?

The high points in an elliptical orbit are called apogee, while the low points are called perigee. Apogee is the point farthest from the center of the body being orbited, while perigee is the point closest to the center.

When pluto was considered a planet it was the farthest but for 20 years this planet was the farthest from the sun?

When Pluto was thought to be a planet, it was usually in the 9th position from the Sun, but Neptune was the 9th for 20 years. In the past 30 years due to improved technology and techniques, many objects beyond the orbit of Pluto have been discovered; partly because of these, a re-examination has occurred of the definition of what a planet is. In 2006 the International Astronomical Union redefined true planets, which definition excluded Pluto and so it received a designation as a minor or dwarf planet; prior to that time it was considered the furthest planet. Of the few "true" planet-defining bullet points, the one Pluto failed on was that it has not cleared its orbit.

How far away is Saturn from the sun at it's furthest and nearest points?

At its furthest point, Saturn is 10.12 AUorÂ?1.5 billion km (932 million miles) from the Sun.This point is called the planet's Aphelion.At its nearest point, the planet is 9.05 AUorÂ?1.3 billion km (839 million miles) from the Sun. This point is called the Perihelion.The average distance between the Sun and Saturn is 9.58 AU orÂ?1.4 million km (870 million miles). This is the length of the semi-major axis of the planets orbit.
