what do you call the point farthest from a satellite's orbit to a planet?
apoapsis
bullet::::1. the orbit of a planet around the sun is an ellipse, with the sun in one of the focal points of that ellipse. [this focal point is actually the barycenter of the sun-planet system; for simplicity this explanation assumes the sun's mass is infinitely larger than that planet's.] the planet's orbit lies in a plane, called the orbital plane. the point on the orbit closest to the attracting body is the periapsis. the point farthest from the attracting body is called the apoapsis. there are also specific terms for orbits about particular bodies; things orbiting the sun have a perihelion and aphelion, things orbiting the earth have a perigee and apogee, and things orbiting the moon have a perilune and apolune (or periselene and aposelene respectively). an orbit around any star, not just the sun, has a periastron and an apastron.
