Answer 2

The greatest distance of a planet from the sun is known as "Aphelion". (option A)

• As we know that in the universe, there exists our solar system. It consists of 8 planets, including the Earth, which we live on.
• All of the planets revolve around the sun at different speeds as well as in different orbits. Each planet has its own orbit, which is fixed.
• However, during the course of the revolution of a planet in its orbit around the sun, at some point of time, the planet is at the shortest distance, and at some other time, the planet is farthest from the sun.
• Now, at such a point when the planet is farthest from the sun in its orbit, this point is called the aphelion. On the other hand, the condition or the point of shortest distance is called Perihelion.
• Thus, the correct answer will be "Aphelion", that is, 'option A'.
