Aphelion is the farthest orbital point from the sun and perihelion is the closest.

Aphelion（远日点）是离太阳远的轨道点，而Perihelion（近日点）是指近的。

The most distant point is known as aphelion and occurs around the 4th of July.

远的点为“远日点”，大约出现在7月4日。

Meanwhile, it's at its slowest in early July, at its furthest point from the Sun, or aphelion.

同时，它在 7 月初慢，在离太阳远的点，或远日点。

The U.S. National Ocean Service identifies Point Nemo as the point in the ocean that is farthest from land.

美国国家海洋局将尼莫角确定为海洋中距离陆地远的点。

Each month, the Moon passes through perigee (the point closest to Earth) and apogee (the point farthest from Earth).

每个月，月球都会经过近地点（离地球近的点）和远地点（离地球远的点）。

The opposite phenomenon, by the way, where the full moon happens at the farthest point, is called an apogee-syzygy, which is a really lame name.

顺便说一下，与之相反，当满月发生在距离地球远点的现为高点。这是一个非常蹩脚的名字。

Furthermore, 6 out of 18 quakes occurred at times when the moon was at its Apogee, the most distant point from Earth in the lunar orbit.

此外，18次地震中有6次发生在月球远点，即月球轨道上离地球远的点。

On the 11th September, Cassini was near  the furthest point of its final orbit and captured this beautiful mosaic in natural light.

9 月 11 日，卡西尼号接近其终轨道的远点，并在自然光下捕捉到了这幅美丽的马赛克照片。

This happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun at a time when the moon is at or close to its farthest point from our planet.

当月球从地球和太阳之间经过时，月球位于或接近其距离地球远的点时，就会发生这种情况。

His object is to triangulate from the widest possible base to the furthest point he thinks he can see, which is always far beyond the curvature of the horizon.

他的目标是从尽可能宽的基地到他认为他能看到的远点进行三角测量， 该点总是远远超出地平线的曲率。

The tides from the Sun are far stronger on Mercury when it's at perihelion, the closest point in its orbit to the Sun, than when it's at aphelion, the farthest point in its orbit.

在近日点，也就是水星与太阳距离近处，它受到的来自太阳的引潮力比在远日点(水星轨道上离太阳远的点)时要强烈得多。

Tracing the Winchcombe meteorite's path from the pictures taken of its arrival showed its orbital aphelion (the point in that orbit farthest from the Sun) to be just inside the orbit of Jupiter.

从 Winchcombe 陨石到达时拍摄的照片追踪它的路径显示它的轨道远日点（该轨道中离太阳远的点）正好在木星轨道内。

The corresponding change in gravitational force causes the Earth to move fastest in January when it reaches its closest point to the Sun, the perihelion, and the slowest in July when it reaches its farthest point, the aphelion.

相应的地球引力的变化使地球在一月时公转更快，也就是到达离太阳近的点时，这个点作“近日点”，到达离太阳远的点时，公转慢，这个点也作“远日点”。
