Venus is the planet with the closest orbit to that of Earth.
Perihelion is when the Earth is closest to the sun.
At the point when it is closest to the sun.
Venus can get closer to the Earth and it can also get further away (when it is on the opposite side of the Sun in it's orbit). At closest approach Venus is about 41 million kilometers. At perihelion (point in orbit closest to the Sun) Earth is 147 million km from the Sun.
The earth is moving fastest in its orbit at the moment of perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. the happens around January 3.

Winter. The Earth reaches its perihelion (the point in its orbit when it is closest to the sun) during the month of January (around January 3rd currently), which falls during the season of winter in the northern hemisphere.
The earth is always orbiting the sun.
Perihelion is when the Earth is closest to the sun.
During the summer, which is the hottest therefore it's the closest to the sun.
At the point when it is closest to the sun.
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.
Well winter happens when we are 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".
The `perihelion` is when a planet is closest to the sun in its orbit around the sun. for earth, this usually happens between 2nd-5th January each year.
Venus can get closer to the Earth and it can also get further away (when it is on the opposite side of the Sun in it's orbit). At closest approach Venus is about 41 million kilometers. At perihelion (point in orbit closest to the Sun) Earth is 147 million km from the Sun.
Mercury, because it is the closest to the sun. Mercury takes 88 days to orbit the sun.
