Definition of perigee in English English dictionary: The point in the orbit of any object which is at the smallest distance from the center of the central body. For example, the point in the moon's orbit which is the smallest distance from the center of the earth; the point in the orbit of the moon when it is nearest the earth; {n} the place of a planet nearest the earth; The point which is closest to the Earth on an elliptical orbit around the Earth; That point in the orbit of any object which is at the smallest distance from the center of the central body. For example, the point in the moons orbit which is the smallest distance from the center of the earth; The point at which an object in earth orbit passes closest to the earth's surface; the point of a satellite's orbit closest to Earth (see perihelion, apogee); Called also epigee, epigeum; That point in the orbit of the moon which is nearest to the earth; opposed to apogee; Of a satellite orbiting the Earth, the point in the orbit at which the gravitational centers of the satellite and Earth are closest to one another; The point in its orbit where the Moon, or planet is closest to the Earth; It is sometimes, but rarely, used of the nearest points of other orbits, as of a comet, a planet, etc; The point in the orbit closest to the Earth; The point in the orbit of the moon or artificial satellite nearest the earth; The point in a satellite's orbit at which it is furthest from the object it is orbiting; the point in the orbit of the Moon that is closest to the Earth; {i} closest point to the earth in the orbit of the moon or other celestial body; The point where (and when) an object's orbit about the earth in which it is closest to the earth; only applicable to objects orbiting the earth (not to objects orbiting the sun --- a common error); periapsis in Earth orbit; the point in its orbit where a satellite is nearest to the Earth; The point in a satellite's orbit where it is closest to the Earth; The point in the Moon's orbit which is closest to the Earth See also: apogee, aphelion, perihelion; The point nearest the earth on the moon's orbit This term can be applied to any other body orbiting the earth, such as satellites It is the opposite of apogee; The point in an orbit closest to the center of the body orbited; That orbital point nearest the earth when the earth is the center of attraction See orbit; The closest point to the Earth in an orbit around the Earth Usually refers to the orbit of the Moon or of an artificial satellite; The point in the Moons orbit when it is closest to the Earth (opposite of apogee); Closest approach of moon to earth during the elliptical lunar orbit Time period from one perigee to the next is the anomalistic month; The point in the orbit of the Moon or other satellite at which it is closest to the Earth; The point in its orbit around the Earth at which an object is closet to the Sun; On an elliptical orbit path, the point where a satellite is closest to the Earth See Keplerian elements; That point on the orbit of an Earth-orbiting satellite nearest to the Earth Compare apogee; the point in the orbit of a satellite of the earth that is nearest to the earth; The place in the orbit of an earth satellite where it is closest to the center of the Earth; The point in the orbit of the Moon or other satellite nearest to the Earth
