- Periapsis in solar orbit; the point in the orbit of a planet or comet where it is nearest to 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.
- The position in a heliocentric orbit at which the orbiting object is at its least distance from the Sun.
- The closest approach to the Sun of any object in orbit about it.
- That orbital point nearest the Sun when the Sun is the center of gravitational attraction.
- The point on a planet or asteroid's elliptical orbit at which it is nearer from the Sun.
- The innermost point of a solar orbit
