apex1. the highest point; vertex 2. Astronomy the point on the celestial sphere, lying in the constellation Hercules, towards which the sun appears to move at a velocity of 20 kilometres per second relative to the nearest stars apex 1. (solar apex) The point on the celestial sphere toward which the Sun and the Solar System are moving relative to the stars in our vicinity. The apex lies in the constellation Hercules at a position RA 18h, dec +30°, close to the star Vega. The point diametrically opposite to the direction of this relative solar motion is the antapex (or solar antapex); it lies in the constellation Columba. The position of the apex can be determined from an analysis of the proper motions, radial velocities, and parallaxes of stars, based on the assumption that solar motion is equal and opposite to the group motion of stars. The velocity of this motion has been calculated as about 19.5 km s–1 with respect to the local standard of rest, when all available information on proper motion and radial velocity is used. The value is lower when only the stars in the Sun's immediate neighborhood are considered. Solar motion produces the secular parallax of stars. 2. The point on the celestial sphere toward which the Earth appears to be moving, at a given time, as a result of its orbital motion around the Sun.ApexThe highest point, peak, or tip of any structure.   apex[′ā‚peks] (anatomy) The upper portion of a lung extending into the root.
