🔍 Key Concepts

• Perigee vs. apogee in the Moon’s orbit • The shape of the Moon’s orbit around Earth (circular or elliptical?) • How distance between Earth and Moon changes during the orbit

💭 Think About

• Is perigee describing a special alignment of Earth, Sun, and Moon, or is it describing a distance in an orbit? • When the word has the root "geo" or "gee," what body is it referring to, and what is coming nearest or farthest from it? • Which of the choices talks about the Moon’s position specifically relative to Earth rather than involving the Sun?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether perigee/apogee are about distance in an elliptical orbit, not angular alignment. • Check which answer choice talks about the Moon–Earth distance only, without mentioning the Sun. • Confirm that syzygy and quadrature are the terms related to alignment angles with the Sun, not perigee.
