Orbiting bodies travel faster at the closest point of approach to the primary. Planets and comets travel fastest at perihelion, the closest point of approach to the Sun.
With comets, it's really obvious; Halley's Comet, for example, orbits between close the Venus to beyond Neptune. In its 76-year orbit, it spends about 3 years inside the orbit of Jupiter, and 73 years beyond it.
Same with Earth and the other planets, although the eccentricity of Earth's orbit is only about 3%. So the difference between "fast at perihelion" and "slow at aphelion" isn't very much.
The Earth reaches perihelion in January, so that's when it is moving fastest. If the people in Australia wanted to brag about how their summers are hotter than ours in the Northern Hemisphere because they're closer to the Sun during their summer, they would have a very good point!

What does the earth orbit around and how long does it takes?

When does the earth moves most rapidly around its orbit?
The earth moves most rapidly in its orbit around the sun at perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. That occurs some time during the first few days of January.
How did the earth's moon became the moon?
Some four billion years ago a massive body, roughly the size of Mars, struck the nascent earth. The debris from this collision settled into orbit around the earth, like a ring. Within just a few thousand years it had coalesced into the moon.
Why Venus takes less time than earth to orbit the sun?
It is closer to the Sun.
Triple earth's mass effect its orbit?
The earth's mass has no effect on its orbit. An astronaut on a "space walk" hovering over the space shuttle's cargo bay is in the same earth-orbit as the shuttle itself is, although his mass is much less than the shuttle's mass. At the same time, the shuttle and the astronaut are both in the same solar orbit as the earth is, although each of them has quite a bit less mass than the earth has.
When does the moon orbit earth?
The moon is in constant orbit around the earth, all the time.
Does moon travel in orbit?
Yes. The Moon travels in orbit around the Earth, at the same time that the Earth travels in orbit around the Sun, at the same time that the Sun travels in orbit around the Milky Way, etc.
When does the earth orbit around the sun?
All the time.
What is the revolution of earth around sun?
The time it takes Earth to orbit around the sun is a year
How long would be a second if the Earth would turn at a different speed?
a second will become less because it takes 365 days for the earth to orbit the sun and if the earth becomes faster it will take less day to orbit the sun, so if that happens time must go faster to keep up with the speed and time our earth takes to orbit the sun.
What is earth's orbit time around the sun?
# 365.25 days
What goes around the earth many time?
See what you orbit around the earth in different orbits around the time required to transfer different. Check the link.
What time does neptune orbit around the sun?
It orbits the Sun all the time! You probably meant : "What time does Neptune take to complete one orbit around the Sun?" The answer to that is: about 165 Earth years.
How is the Earth year determinded?
A year is the time it takes for the Earth to orbit around the Sun.
What is a single earth orbit?
A single Earth orbit refers to the path that a spacecraft or satellite takes around the Earth. It involves the object traveling in an elliptical or circular path due to the gravitational pull of the Earth. The time it takes to complete one orbit can vary depending on the altitude and speed of the object.
The time it takes earth to orbit around the sun?
One year.
The measure of time created from the orbit of the moon around the earth?
That is a month.
