How do you calculate aphelion distance?

Aphelion distance can be calculated using Kepler's laws of planetary motion. For an elliptical orbit, the aphelion distance (the farthest point from the Sun) is given by the formula ( r_a = a(1 + e) ), where ( r_a ) is the aphelion distance, ( a ) is the semi-major axis of the orbit, and ( e ) is the eccentricity of the orbit. By determining the semi-major axis and eccentricity of the celestial body’s orbit, you can plug these values into the formula to find the aphelion distance.

The northern hemisphere experiences winter when the earth is farthest from the sun?

The northern hemisphere does not experience winter when the Earth is farthest from the sun.The cause of the seasons is the Earth's axial tilt, which is independent of the apsides of Earth's orbit, known as aphelion and perihelion.When Earth is farthest from the sun, it is at aphelion. Aphelion currently occurs in July, which is the Northern Hemisphere's summer.
