Perihelion is a 2D Strategy Game. You are in an asteroid which is dangerously moving close to a star. You have 30 days to earn enough money to buy a space trip ticket to another asteroid, probably farther to the star. The game will be programmed with

position of a planet (earth) when it is closest to the Sun in its orbit (occurs around January 3)
The pelihelion is the point in orbit where an object is closest to its central body. So the pelihelion is also the minimum distance of an orbit. The opposite is the aphelion.

The point of the earth's orbit that is nearest to the sun. Although the position is part of a 21,000 year cycle, currently it occurs around January, when the earth is about 3 million miles closer to the sun than at aphelion.
