Aphelion is 152,098,232 km (the distance when the Earth is furthest from the Sun in July) at that point it is moving slowest: 29,300 m/s.
Perihelion is 147,098,290 km (in January when the Earth is closest to the Sun) the orbital speed is greatest: 30,300 m/s.

How is moon different than a planet?
The moon orbits the planet Earth rather than the sun, so it is considered a moon.
Do stars orbit around mars?
No. Mars is a planet and thus much smaller than any star. Stars cannot orbit planets. However, Mars does orbit the sun, which is a star.
Is hour world going to the center of the galaxy or what is the same black hole?
We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy. This is not much different from the Earth going in an orbit around the Sun. The black hole at the center doesn't change anything; it is just one object more that has some mass - an insignificant amount of mass, compared to the remainder of the galaxy.We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy.

If you blew up Uranus would it affect Earth's orbit around the sun?
Technically yes, but not by much.
How much volume does Jupiter have?
Jupiters volume is 1.43128×10 to the 15 cubic km or around 1321.3 Earths
How much thrust for space shuttle to break orbit?
The Space Shuttle is not capable of leaving Earths orbit.
Why earths satellites are not attracted by sun?
They are, but are held in Earth's orbit because of their much closer position to the Earth.
Why the moon orbits around earth not the sun?
Because the moon is much, much closer to the earth, so the earths immediate gravity has more of an effect on the moon. But the moon-earth "package" together both orbit the sun.
How much time does it take for light to travel across the diameter of the earths orbit?
That would be roughly 16minutes 40seconds .
What if the earths orbit aroud the sun was circular and not elliptical?
Not much would change. Note that the seasons are NOT related to changes in the distance from the Sun.
Is the moon drifting away from earth?
Yes, the moon is very, very slowly moving farther away from earth on average, by about 3.8 m per century, or 3.8 cm per year. This is because of some tidal/frictional effects of the moon's orbit that are not very easy to explain. While this is happening, there is still perigee and apogee to the moon's orbit; during every lunar orbit the moon has a closest (perigee) and farthest (apogee) approach to earth.
How much does the moon it orbit around itself?
27.7 days
How much do satellites weigh?
Mass: 5.6846×1026 kg That's 95.152 Earths Hee Hee :P
How much does your planet to orbit around the sun?
Please be specific about which planet.
What is located at the other orbit if the sun is in the middle of earths orbit?
It isn't clear what you mean with "other orbit". Note that the statement that the Sun is "in the middle of" Earth's orbit is not entirely precise. Earth moves around the Sun in an ellipse; the Suns is in one of the focal points. This is NOT the center of the ellipse. Also, the entire Solar System moves around the center of mass, which is NOT exactly the center of the Sun. This is because, even though the Sun has much more mass than all the planets together, it does not have infinitely more mass.
How is moon different than a planet?
The moon orbits the planet Earth rather than the sun, so it is considered a moon.
How much does Saturn take to go around the orbit?
29.5 earth years
