🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of perigee vs apogee in orbital motion • The Moon’s orbit around the Earth (not around the Sun) • Relationship between distance and orbital points (closest vs farthest)

💭 Think About

• Is apogee describing a position in the Moon’s orbit relative to the Earth or relative to the Sun? • Between "closest" and "farthest," which one corresponds to apogee, and which to perigee? • Which option mentions the correct two bodies involved in the apogee definition?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices talk about Earth–Moon distance, not Earth–Sun or Moon–Sun distance. • Recall: one term means closest point in an orbit, the other means farthest point. • Eliminate any option that describes a Sun-related alignment instead of Earth–Moon distance.
