Understanding Apoapsis and Periapsis: The Extremes of an Orbital Journey

Jenny Bose

 Orbiting celestial bodies follow a continuous path around their parent objects, be it planets around stars or satellites around planets. This orbital journey is characterized by two critical points: the apoapsis and periapsis. Understanding these extremes of an orbital trajectory is fundamental to comprehending the mechanics and dynamics of celestial motion. In this article, we delve into the concepts of apoapsis and periapsis, exploring their significance in the fascinating world of orbits.
