Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador. Due to the earth's bulge near the equator, Mount Chimborazo is actually 1.5 miles closer to space than Mount Everest.
The closest neighbor to Earth in space is the Moon. It is Earth's only natural satellite, located about 384,400 kilometers away.

Perihelion is when the Earth is closest to the sun.
At the point when it is closest to the sun.
Yes. High tides happen on the point on earth closest to the moon, and the opposite side of the earth.
The moon is the closest thing in outer space to the earth.
The closest natural object to Earth is the moon.

MOON
The point at which the Moon is closest to Earth is known as the perigee. This occurs approximately once a month when the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. This phenomenon is called a "perigee-syzygy."
The summit of Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador's highest mountain, is the point on Earth closest to the sun. Due to the mountain's location along the equatorial bulge, its summit is the farthest point from the Earth's core. This also means that Ecuador is the closest country to space.
True. Perigee is the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
The Moon orbits over the tropical areas, within about 28 degrees of latitude north or south. The point on the Earth which is absolutely the CLOSEST to the Moon would be the point when the Moon reaches its "perigee". But that point moves as the Moon orbits the Earth.
Because the Earth is rotating, the "closest point" to the Moon will be changing all the time. Also, the Moon is moving in its orbit, of course.

Closest big one - all our man made satellites are closer.
