∙ 13y agoYes. Perihelion, the point when the Earth is closest to the Sun, occurs on January 4 each year, although this can vary a day either way with the cycle of leap years.

∙ 14y agoNo. Periapsis - the closest approach between Earth and Sun in this case - is in January.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. Currently, the earth is reaching perihelion sometime
during the first week or so of January each year.
Wiki User

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes that's right. The actual perihelion is passed
sometime during the first few days of January.
