The term 'Farthest Orbital Point' refers to the point in an orbit that is farthest from the body being orbited. In astronomy, this point is known as APOGEE, which is a six-letter word. APOGEE is the point in an orbit where the orbiting body is at its greatest distance from the center of mass of the two bodies. This point is also known as the aphelion when referring to orbits around the Sun. APOGEE is the opposite of perigee, which is the point in an orbit closest to the body being orbited.
