Question

when a comet like comet hale - bopp comes closest to the sun in its orbit, we say that it is at apogee. perhelion. the minimum angular momentum point. the tail end of its journey. circular satellite velocity.

Explanation:

The point in an object's orbit around the Sun where it is closest to the Sun is called the perihelion. Apogee is the farthest point from Earth in an object's orbit around Earth. Angular - momentum is conserved in orbit and there is no 'minimum angular - momentum point' in this context. The tail end of its journey is not related to the closest - to - Sun point. Circular satellite velocity is a velocity concept for circular orbits and not related to this closest - to - Sun position.

Answer:

B. perihelion
