The point in a planet's orbit at which it is farthest from the Sun (Lesson 29)

The orbital point farthest from the Sun when the Sun is the center of attraction, as opposed to perihelion.

(n.) The point in the orbit of a solar-system object where it is farthest from the sun. Index: A to F | G to L | M to R | S to Z

The aphelion is the point in the Earth’s orbit that is furthest from the Sun. See section

The point in the orbit of a planet which is farthest from the Sun. See also perihelion.

The point in the orbit of the Earth (or other planet, etc.) farthest from the Sun.

the point in a planet's orbit furthest from the Sun (Helios is Greek for Sun). See perihelion, apogee.

The point in its orbit when a planet is farthest from the sun. For more information, see Milutin Milankovitch

<astronomy> That point of a planet's or comet's orbit which is most distant from the sun, the opposite point being the perihelion. (01 Mar 1998)

That point in the elliptical orbit of a body about the sun farthest from the sun. That point nearest the sun is called PERIHELION.

The point on the annual orbit of a body (about the sun) that is farthest from the sun; at present, the earth reaches this point (152 million kilometer from the sun) on about 5 July. Opposite of perihelion.

is the point of orbit of a planet or comet which is farthest away from the sun.

That point on the path of a Sun-orbiting object most distant from the center of the Sun. Compare perihelion. definition courtesy of: NWS Space Weather Prediction Center

The time of the year when the Earth is farthest from the sun (about 4 July).

The point on the earth's orbit that is farthest from the sun. Although the position is part of a 21,000 year cycle, currently it occurs around July, when the earth is about 3 million miles farther from the sun than at perihelion. This term can be applied to any other celestial body in orbit around the sun. It is the opposite of perihelion.
