	~~'''~~The point at which a general orbit is farthest from the center of mass.'''		The point at which a general orbit is farthest from the center of mass is known as its '''apofocus'''. The distance between the apofocus and the center of mass is known as the '''apofocus distance''' or '''apoapsis'''.

	The ~~point at which a general orbit is closest to~~ the center of mass is known as ~~[[periapsis]]. Celestial bodies have specific terms relating to~~ the '''~~[[apsis]]~~''' ~~of their orbits~~.


			The point at which a general orbit is closest to the center of mass is known as [[perifocus]]. Celestial bodies have specific terms relating to the [[apsides]] of their orbits. Of particular importance is the fact that [[apogee]] is measured differently from the others.
