How do you use the word "perigee" in a sentence?

Answer 1

Perigee is the closest approach of an orbiting object to its primary. Sorry, am I also allowed to define it?

Answer 2

Perigee is a compound word and it consists of 2 bits, peri and gee.

Gee comes from the Greek word Gaea, meaning Earth in English. Peri is a Greek word too, actually a preposition, meaning near in this occasion.

So, all together perigee=near the Earth, nearest to the Earth.

Having this in mind, you can construct sentences as follows:
- Tidal ranges are increased at perigee.
- The picture of the perigee Moon is colourful.
- Extreme values for the perigee distance occur when the Full Moon is close to perigee passage.
- The calculation of perigee time and distance is performed using an algorithm.

Usually, you cannot avoid using the opposite term apogee (furthest from the Earth) in your sentences as well. Examples:
- At perigee, tidal ranges are increased while at apogee they are decreased.
- The picture of the perigee Moon is more colorful than the apogee photo.

Answer 3

I disagree with WASHINS who has just said that "The moon's perigee makes it appear larger than it actually is."

Infact the moon is even larger than what we see at prigee.

Perigee and Apogee refer to the distance from the Earth to the moon. Apogee is the furthest point from the earth. Perigee is the closest point to the earth and it is in this stage that the moon appears larger. (Obviously)

These terms usually come due to elleeptical orbit.(ie, not exact circle)

We find this word for Satellites, Planets, and even Sun's galactic orbits.

Some poets have eeven used it for type of 'friendship'.
