The closest point to Earth on a satellite's orbit.
point on Moon's orbit closest to Earth.
The point in the orbit of a heavenly body (e.g. satellite) at which it is nearest the Earth.
The point of minimum orbital distance from the Earth and maximum orbital velocity around the Earth. See also
The orbital point were the satellite is closest from the earth
The point in its orbit around the Earth at which an object is closet to the Sun.
For an object orbiting the Earth, the perigee is the point in each orbit which is closest to the Earth. The perigee varies a small amount from orbit to orbit. The closest perigee is called the proxigee.
In an orbit around the Earth, the closest point to the Earth.
the point at which a body in orbit around the Earth most closely approaches the Earth. Perigee is sometimes used with reference to the apparent orbit of the Sun around the Earth.
The point in the Moon’s or planet’s orbit when it is closest to Earth.
The point in the orbit of the moon or artificial satellite nearest the earth.
The closest point on an orbit to the earth. PERIHELION: The point in a planet's orbit when it is closest to the sun.
the closest point to the Earth, this cannot be less than about 80 miles above the surface of the Earth due to the Earth's atmosphere
(PER·i·gee). The point in the orbit of a heavenly body or satellite at which it is nearest to the earth's center.
The point in a satellite's orbit that is closest to a planet.
periapsis in Earth orbit; the point in its orbit where a satellite is nearest to the Earth
In an orbit, the point closest to the Earth.
The position in a geocentric orbit at which the orbiting object is at its least distance from Earth.
The point of the moon's or satellite's orbit closest to the sun.
The point at which an object in earth orbit passes closest to the earth's surface.
the innermost point of a terrestrial orbit
The point on a body's orbit where it is closest to the Earth. See also perihelion and aphelion.
the position of the moon in its orbit when it is closest to Earth
The point in an orbit closest to Earth.
The closest point to Earth reached by a body in an elliptical orbit with Earth at the primary focus.
The point in its orbit where an Earth satellite is closest to the Earth. The opposite of apogee.
the point closest to the earth of an earth orbiting object.
the point of a satellite's orbit closest to Earth (see perihelion, apogee).
The closest point to Earth of any object orbiting Earth. The word periapsis is used for objects orbiting other planets.
For a satellite orbit, the nearest point to the center of the earth.
In the moon's orbit, its nearest point to the earth (about 221,614 miles). See apogee.
The point in the orbit of a satellite that is the least distant from the center of the earth.
That point in a terrestrial orbit which is nearest to the Earth.
The point in its orbit where the Moon, or planet is closest to the Earth.
The point in a satellite orbit when it is closest to the Earth
the point in a satellite’s orbit when it is closest to Eart
The nearest point to Earth in the orbit of a satellite, artificial or otherwise.
The place in the orbit of an Earth satellite where it is closest to the center of the Earth.
That point on the trajectory of an orbiting body which is nearest the Earth when the Earth is the center of attraction. Also, used in connection with orbits of celestial bodies around other celestial bodies.
The point closest to the center of the orbit in an elliptical orbit.
point of minimum distance from the Earth in the orbit of the Moon or of an artificial satellite.
It is the point of a satellite’s orbit closest to the Earth. - The moon’s perigee is about 350,000 kilometers from the Earth.
Point in a satellite's orbit that is closest to the earth.
The point in the orbit closest to the Earth.
The point in a satellite's orbit where it is closest to Earth.
The point on a satellite's elliptical orbit closest to the earth. The perigee altitude hp of a satellite's orbit is equal to the distance from the center of the earth to perigee, rp, minus the mean equatorial radius of the earth, RE= 3443.92 nmi= 6378.145 km. Further, it should be noted that the sum of the apogee and perigee distances of an orbit are equal to twice its semi-major axis . That is, ra + rp.
The place in a planet's orbit which is nearest to the Earth. See Apogee.
The point nearest the earth on the moon's orbit. This term can be applied to any other body orbiting the earth, such as satellites. It is the opposite of apogee.
The point of orbit at which a planet is closest to Earth.
The orbital point where a satellite is closest to the body around which it is orbiting. Contrasts with Apogee.
The point in an orbit at which any orbiting object, for example, planet, moon, artificial satellite, is closest to the attracting body; the opposite of apogee. Compare perihelion.
Lowest point (minimum altitude) of a geocentric orbit.
