The Earth reaches aphelion, the farthest point in its orbit around the Sun, about July 3rd each year. (That date varies a day or so either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.) Here in 2011, aphelion is on July 4th at about 3PM GMT.

The US Naval Observatory's "Earth's Seasons" web site (at the link below) lists the precise time of the solstices and equinoxes, and has the perihelion and aphelion down to the hour.
