It is the earth's perihelion or, less conventionally, the sun's perigee.
Perihelion is when the Earth is closest to the sun.
At perihelion, the closest point to the sun, earth is about 92 million miles away from the sun.
At perihelion, when the Earth is closest to the Sun, about January 4 each year.
The point closest to the sun on Earth is called the perihelion. This occurs when the Earth is at its closest distance to the sun during its orbit, which is about 147.1 million kilometers (91.4 million miles) away.
Earth passes through the point in its orbit that is closest to the sun, which is known as its perihelion, during the first half of January.
the suns gravitational pull is strongest because the earth is at its closest point to the sun.
The point in earth's orbit where it is closest to the sun is called "perihelion".
At the point when it is closest to the sun.
That's the point in Earth's orbit called "perihelion".The point in the orbit that's farthest from the sun is "aphelion".
No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.
If you're referring to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, the closest point is called the perihelion and it usually comes between the 2nd and 4th of January each year.
The planet Mercury is closest to the sun, at about three-tenths Earth's distance at the nearest point in its orbit.
