Farthest: Aphelion (pr. ap-helion).
The earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, so there is a point at which we are nearest to the sun, and a point at which we are farthest from it. The point in the orbit at which we are nearest the sun is called "perihelion". The earth passes that point at some time during the first few days in January. In 2011, it happened on January 3. The point in the orbit at which we are farthest from the sun is called "aphelion". We pass it at some time during the first few days of July.
the solstice occurs when the sun is farthest north of the equator
Yes, that is true.
When it is farthest from the Sun. This point is known as aphelion. *Aphelion = Furthest point from the Sun.
