The planet furthest from the sun
It's in a gravitational orbit with the sun. Just like every other planet, moon, comet, asteroid, and meteoroid in the solar system.
A small spherical object orbiting the sun would be called a planet, asteroid, or comet, depending on its characteristics and orbit.
That sketchy description could be applied to a planet, a satellite, a moon, an asteroid, a comet, a meteoroid, or even an electron.
No. The asteroid belt is an area between Mars and Jupiter where most of the solar system's asteroids orbit. The Kupier belt is much farther out. It is a region that contains a large number of comets orbiting beyond Neptune.
Aphelion is the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is furthest from the sun.
The planet furthest from the sun
Planet, planetoid, moon, asteroid, meteor, comet
It means a path travelled by a planet, asteroid, meteor or a comet which goes around the sun once.
It's in a gravitational orbit with the sun. Just like every other planet, moon, comet, asteroid, and meteoroid in the solar system.
They could be knocked out of orbit by being hit from a comet, or a 'rogue' asteroid that's not part of the asteroid belt.

Pluto's orbit DOES NOT overlap the orbit of the asteroid Ceres. But it does overlap the orbit of the planet neptune

Usually a collection of bodies that orbit around a star. Our solar system consists of a rocky planet belt, an asteroid belt, a gas giant belt, a comet belt, and then a comet cloud, all of which fall under the influence of our star's gravity and orbit periodically.
No. The asteroid belt is an area between Mars and Jupiter where most of the solar system's asteroids orbit. The Kupier belt is much farther out. It is a region that contains a large number of comets orbiting beyond Neptune.
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.
