The furthest planets from Earth are Exoplanets (or extrasolar planets), which are outside our solar system and are in orbit around other local stars. So far, over 500 have beeâ¦n detected. The furthest confirmed exoplanet so far is MOA-2008-BLG-310L, which is over 20,000 light years away.
Thus, they all have a closest and a farthest point from the sun: a perihelion and an aphelion. Orbital eccentricity measures the flatness of the orbit. Earth comes closest to the sun every year around January 3. It is farthest from the sun every year around July 4.t is the opposite of aphelion, which is where [& when] the orbit of the object is farthest from the sun. The word perihelion stems from the Greek words peri, meaning near, and  Helios , meaning the Greek god of the sun. (The similar word, perigee, refers to the nearest point in some object's orbit of earth .).
