What is the farthest that the Earth can be from the Sun?
The Earth's aphelion - the farthest its present orbit takes it from the Sun - is 152,097,701 kilometres. The other point, the perihelion - the nearest it gets to the Sun on its present orbit - is 147,098,074 kilometres
When the Earth is in its orbit and is at its closest point to the sun it is said to be at?
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.
