inner edge

Inside border line

The inner edge is the boundary or margin closest to the center of something, as opposed to its outer edge.

In bookbinding, the inner edge is the side of a page nearest the spine.

In astronomy, it often refers to the boundary of a ring system or habitable zone closest to the central body: The inner edge of the asteroid belt lies near Mars's orbit.
