Does a planet travel fastest at aphelion or perihelion?
Neptune is located at aphelion in its orbit. It is the furthest from the Sun while it is in its orbit.
When a planet is closest to the sun in its orbit?
Closest point is called the perihelion; furthest from sun is aphelion.
What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?
The maximum distance from the sun in a planet's orbit is called its aphelion. This point is farthest from the sun, as opposed to the perihelion, which is its closest point.
What is a point of a planet's or comet's orbit or another body at which it comes closest to the sun?
This is the Perihelion. The aphelion is when it is at it's most distant point.
How to calculate an aphelion distance?
When an object is closest to the Sun in its orbit around the Sun, that is called perihelion; the farthest point in the orbit is called aphelion. The generic names (making reference to any central body, and not the Sun specifically) are periapsis and apoapsis (or apapsis).

What is the term for when a planet is at the point of its orbit nearest the sun?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
When a planet is closest to the sun in its orbit?
Closest point is called the perihelion; furthest from sun is aphelion.
What Is The Time Of A Planet closest to the sun to orbit it?
I think the answer to your question may be perihelion. Farthest from the Sun is aphelion.
What is The point at which the planet is closest to the sun to its orbit is called?
The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion. The furthest point is called aphelion. Phil
What is the name of the point in space where an object is closest to the sun?
That is perihelion. Furthest away is aphelion, pronounced ap-helion. For each planet, perihelion and aphelion are at opposite ends of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.
What is a planet's maximum distance from the sun is the of its orbit?
The maximum distance from the sun in a planet's orbit is called its aphelion. This point is farthest from the sun, as opposed to the perihelion, which is its closest point.
How far is Aphelion from the sun?
Aphelion is a word used to describe the furthest that a planet gets from the sun during it's orbit, while perihelion is used to describe the closest that it gets.
What is a point of a planet's or comet's orbit or another body at which it comes closest to the sun?
This is the Perihelion. The aphelion is when it is at it's most distant point.
Do all planets have a perihelion and an aphelion. What are they?
Yes, All of the planets in our Solar System move around the Sun in elliptical orbits. An ellipse is a shape that can be thought of as a "stretched out" circle or an oval. The Sun is not at the center of the ellipse, as it would be if the orbit were circular. Instead, the Sun is at one of two points called "foci" (which is the plural form of "focus") that are offset from the center. This means that each planet moves closer towards and further away from the Sun during the course of each orbit. The point in the orbit where the planet is closest to the Sun is called "perihelion". The point where the planet is furthest from the Sun is called "aphelion".
What is the difference between perihelion and aphelion?
Perihelion is the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is closest to the sun.Comes from greek peri- =nearAnahelion is the opposite--the point in an object's orbit around the sun where it is farthest from the sun.Comes from greek ap--=awayThe -helio part of each of these specifies that the object is orbiting around the sun. There are other words for orbiting different things.
How to calculate an aphelion distance?
When an object is closest to the Sun in its orbit around the Sun, that is called perihelion; the farthest point in the orbit is called aphelion. The generic names (making reference to any central body, and not the Sun specifically) are periapsis and apoapsis (or apapsis).
