Apoapsis in solar orbit; the point in the orbit of a planet or comet that is at the greatest distance from the sun
The perihelion is the point in the orbit of a planet, minor planet, or comet, where it is nearest to its point of orbit, generally a star. It is the opposite of aphelion, which is the point in the orbit where the celestial body is farthest from its point of orbit.
