The area of orbit farthest from the Sun, and moves slowest, is called the ____
aphelion
The area of orbit farthest from the Sun, and moves slowest, is called the aphelion.
The area of an orbit farthest from the Sun, where the speed of the object is at its slowest, is called the aphelion.
To determine this term, we need to understand the nature of planetary orbits. Planets, comets, and other celestial bodies move in elliptical paths around the Sun, following Kepler's laws of planetary motion. An ellipse has two focal points, with the Sun being located at one of them. The point on the orbit closest to the Sun is called the perihelion, while the point farthest from the Sun is called the aphelion.
To find this term, you can study the characteristics and definitions of planetary orbits or refer to astronomical resources that provide information on celestial bodies and their orbits.
