When is the earth's orbital motion around the sun fastest and when is it slowest?

The Earth moves fastest along its orbit at its perihelion, when it's closest to the sun, around January 4, and slowest when it's at its aphelion, when it's farthest from the sun, around July 4.

What is the slowest to change earths surface?
Weathering
A picture of earths orbital path?
elliptical.
How much does earths orbit around the sun vary throughout the year?
Aphelion is 152,098,232 km (the distance when the Earth is furthest from the Sun in July) at that point it is moving slowest: 29,300 m/s. Perihelion is 147,098,290 km (in January when the Earth is closest to the Sun) the orbital speed is greatest: 30,300 m/s.
Another name for the earths orbital period?
The year.
Why is the earths orbital velocity fastest at perihelion?
the suns gravitational pull is strongest because the earth is at its closest point to the sun.

What is earth inclination?
Earths orbital inclination is 1.57869°

Why are astronomers interested in the earths orbital pattern?
cuz my dik is big
What is Earths fastest animals?
The cheetah from the plains of Africa
Why is Mercury's year 88 days if Mercury is the fastest planet and closest to the sun?
Mercury's year of 88 days is pretty short when compared to Earths 365 day year. The orbital period gets longer the further you go out. Neptune is the furthest planet out and takes nearly 165 years to go around the sun once.
How long is it til earth goes around the sun?
Earths orbital period is approximately 365.256366 days, or just over a year. This slight excess is the reason we have leap years.
Which planets year is one year longer than earths?
Mars, with a orbital period of around 687 days, almost two Earth years (which would be 730 days).
What means the tilt of the earths axis?
In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane. It differs from orbital inclination.
