Earth's distance from the Sun does change slightly as it moves in its elliptical orbit. The average distance, known as an astronomical unit (AU), is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers), but this distance varies throughout the year. At its closest point, called perihelion, Earth is about 91.4 million miles from the Sun, while at its farthest point, called aphelion, it is about 94.5 million miles away. These variations occur due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit.
