he 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.

Not sure what you're asking, but I'll give a couple of answers. The planet closest to the Sun is Mercury. The point where Earth is closest to the Sun is called "perihelion."
