Answer:
yoo!! sis ✌✌
The point of the orbit closest to Earth is called perigee.
The point farthest from Earth is known as apogee.
Importance:-
The apogee and perigee of the moon have an effect on the tides here on Earth. When the moon is at apogee, the furthest distance from the Earth, it has less gravitational pull which, along with other factors that influence the tides, can contribute to lower tides or lower variation in the high/low tide level.
