Aphelion-Perihelion-Perigee-Apogee

Here we can see the fact that the orbit of the Earth around the Sun is not circular and neither is the orbit of the Moon around the Earth.

The Solar image on the left comprises an image of the Sun when farthest from the Earth (Aphelion), shot in July this year (2020) and closest (Perihelion) shot in January. The images of the Moon are of the closest full Moon (Perigee) of 2019 and the farthest (Apogee).
