The earth is closet to the sun at?

Answer 1

Aphelion -- the point on its orbit when the Earth is farthest from the sun Perihelion -- the point on its orbit when the Earth is closest to the sun so

== == == ==

Answer 2

The earth is closest to the sun around the 3rd of January. This is during winter for the northern hemisphere, or summer for the Southern Hemisphere. This closest approach in the earths orbit is at the periapsis (in geometry terms), or the perihelion. The earth to sun distance at this point is 147,098,074 km (compared with an average distance of 149,597,888km).

Answer 3

The mutual gravitational force between any two masses is greatest when the masses are

closest together.

For earth and sun, that's the moment of 'perihelion'. In 2010, it occurred on January 3rd .

Answer 4

The distance between the Earth and the Sun is the greatest during (1) Summer Solstice (2) Winter Solstice (3) Aphelion (4) Perihelion

Answer 5

Aphelion, which happens a few days after the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere.

Answer 6

... the point in its orbit called "perihelion". We reach that point

each year during the first few days of January.

Answer 7

Perihelion, which occurs in early January, is when the Earth is closest to the sun in its elliptical orbit. This results in higher temperatures in the southern hemisphere during its summer season.

Answer 8

During the first few days of July.

Answer 9

early July
