Earth's orbit around the Sun is an elliptical one. When it's closest to the Sun it's called the Perihelion. The distance is about 91.4 million miles or 147.1 kilometers. When the Earth is farthest from the Sun it's called the Aphelion. The distance is about 94.6 million miles or about 152.2 kilometers. During Aphelion (Earth further away from the Sun), the Northern Hemisphere's season is winter while the Southern Hemisphere's season is summer. During the Perihelion, the hemispheres experience the opposite seasons. There is a difference on how much of the Sun's rays we receive while the Earth is at these points. The difference is 3.3 degrees.

Which word describes the earths motion in one year?
It takes one year for Earth to revolve around the Sun. One day for Earth to rotate on its axis.
What type of pattern does the earths orbit take around the sun?
The orbit of the Earth around the Sun is an elliptical orbit. It is not a perfect circle but rather an elongated circle with the Sun slightly off-center. This means that the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies throughout the year.
Is Saturn round?
