Answer:
A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth
Explanation:
The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.
Let's see instead the names of the other options:
B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth --> this point is called apogee
C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun --> this point is called perihelion
D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name
Answer:
B. It is too slow to observe directly
Explanation:
They move too slow to be able to observe how they move.
I hope it helps! Have a great day!

Answer:
Thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.
Explanation:
From the concept of Escape Velocity, derived from Newton's Law of Gravitation, definition of Work, Work-Energy Theorem and Principle of Energy Conservation, which is the minimum speed such that rocket can overcome gravitational forces exerted by the Earth, and according to the Tsiolkovski's Rocket Equation, which states that thrust done by the rocket is equal to the change in linear momentum of the rocket itself, we conclude that thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.
