Respuesta :

the planet approaches to it's highest velocity

Since the Sun is not at the center of an elliptical orbit, the planet moves closer towards and further away from the Sun as it orbits.

What happens as a planet approaches the perihelion of its orbit around the sun ?

The place where the planet is closest to the Sun is called perihelion. When the planet is furthest away from the Sun, it is at aphelion.

  • The words "aphelion" and "perihelion" come from the Greek language. In Greek, "helios" mean Sun, "peri" means near, and "apo" means away from.

  • When Earth is at perihelion, it is about 147 million km (91 million miles) from the Sun. When it is at aphelion, it is 152 million km (almost 95 million miles) from the Sun.
