Sagittal
In medical terms, the closest point of attachment is referred to as the proximal end. This typically refers to the end of a bone or muscle that is closer to the center of the body or the point of origin.
Proximal is the term used to say that something is closer to the trunk of the body. Example: The elbow is proximal to the wrist.proximal

Yes. For example, the center of mass of a hollow sphere would be at the empty center of that sphere.
The center of gravity is the theoretical point where all the body weight is concentrated or the theoretical point about which the body weight is evenly distributed. If a body is of uniform density and has a symmetrical shape the center of gravity is in the geometric center. If the object is not symmetrical and does not have uniform density, it is more difficult to describe the location of its center of gravity.
Center of mass is defined as the point about which the sum of mass moment vectors of all the points of the body is equal to zero.
The high points in an elliptical orbit are called apogee, while the low points are called perigee. Apogee is the point farthest from the center of the body being orbited, while perigee is the point closest to the center.

DefinitionProximal means nearer to the center (trunk of the body) or to the point of attachment to the body. If another reference point is given, such as the heart, the proximal point of another organ or extremity is the point closest to the heart -- central rather than peripheral.
When a planetary body is orbiting a star, it is the point at which it is closest to the star.
The center of gravity of a body is the point where the total weight of the body may be considered to act. It is the point around which the body's weight is evenly distributed in all directions, resulting in a balanced position. The center of gravity may not necessarily coincide with the geometric center of the body.
The closest point to the center of the Earth at sea level would be the summit of Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador, due to the equatorial bulge caused by the Earth's rotation.
