Detailed Solution

The point in the orbit of a planet close to the sun is called perihelion and the point farthermost to the sun is called aphelion.
 Kepler’s first law states that “the path of any planet in an orbit around the sun follows the shape of an ellipse with the sun at one of the foci”. The planet follows the ellipse in its orbit, indicating that the distance between the planet and the sun is continuously changing as the planet goes around its orbit. The point in the orbit of a planet close to the sun is called perihelion and the point farthermost from the sun is called aphelion.
